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.
