The Supreme Court ruled in 1962 that state-sponsored prayer in public schools violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. This ruling prohibited school administrators or teachers from leading students in classroom prayer or religious activities. However, students are allowed to pray individually or in groups during non-instructional time to the same extent that they may engage in other free speech activities.
