North Cape May - FYI Religion in public schools ...How has the Supreme Court ruled on issues of religion in public schools? The Supreme Court has long held that the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment forbids school-sponsored prayer or religious indoctrination. Over thirty years ago, the Court struck down classroom prayers and scripture readings even where they were voluntary and students had the option of being excused.
