Supreme Court bans Lord's Prayer Bible reading in public schools
The Supreme Court ruled 8 to 1 that reading the Bible and reciting the Lord's Prayer as daily devotional exercises in public schools is unconstitutional. Justice Clark delivered the opinion, upholding state neutrality in religion and citing the First and Fourteenth Amendments. The decision follows a Maryland case brought by Mrs. Madalyn Murray and her son, with Stewart dissenting.
