Showing Original Post only (View all)My 90 year old parents said they never had prayer in their schools [View all]
Wasn't that just something they had in southern states? I did a quick search on Google but didn't see anything right off hand. For anyone around before teacher lead prayer in school was outlawed in 1963, what was your experience?
By the way. My Dad grew up in Nevada and my Mom lived in a number of states growing up including MT, CO, ND, WI, AZ etc.
By the way! There is still plenty of prayer in schools today, right before every test.
Editing to add this:
Haven't Public Schools Always Had Prayer?
At the time the U.S. Supreme Court issued its 1962 and 1963 decrees against school-sponsored prayers and bible-reading, it is estimated religious observances were unknown in about half of the nation's public schools.
