Abstract:
Next year will mark the 50th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Engel v. Vitale, declaring state-sponsored prayers in the public schools to be unconstitutional. Now the fight over education is no longer about whether Christian prayers should be recited in public school classrooms, but whether public funds should pay for Christian schools.

Abstract:
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on June 24, 1992, in the case of Lee v. Weisman, that asking a member of the clergy to say a prayer at a public school graduation is in violation of the U.S. Constitution's Establishment Clause. Johansen discusses school prayer law prior to the Lee decision; discusses the decision; and examines implications the ruling has for school law in North Carolina, such as prayers at graduation, at extracurricular activities, and at school board, PTA, and faculty meetings.
