When and by whom was prayer taken out of public schools?

Amber Supko In 1963 there started to be some people against the Lord's Prayer in public schools Stew731 The U. S. Supreme Court issued two bans.

One in 1962 and the second in 1963. Both bans were the result of lawsuits against the teaching of religion and religious practices in public schools. Basically stating that organized prayer in schools was a violation of the separation of church and state.It was decided that publicly funded schools were an extension of the state, and that organized prayer or bible readings were a form of proselytizing.

The bans not only banned mandatory prayer in schools but also banned the daily reading of bible passages The lawsuits were supported by several organizations but the most outspoken supporter for banning prayer in schools came from Madalyn Murray O'Hair, the founder of American Atheists, Inc.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
