Moment Of Silence School Prayer

Should a moment of silence be legal in public
schools? In 1962 the Supreme Court decided that
public schools did not have the power to authorize
school prayer. This decision made public school in

nations. For example, crosses still hang on the
classroom walls in Poland, and the Ten
Commandments are displayed in Hungary. There are
prayers held at the beginning of legislative and
judicial sessions and every President has
