Christian Prayer in Public School

They did not. The court merely declared that prayer, as an integral part of the classroom day, was unconstitutional, both because:

• It would elevate religious belief as superior to secular belief, and
• It would elevate Christianity above other religions. 

Students can:

• pray at the flagpole and at any other location outside where students area allowed to gather;
• pray silently in the hallways or classroom outside of class hours (i.e. before classes begin or after they are over;
• say grace before meals in the cafeteria;
• join with fellow student believers in forming Bible study clubs, if one or more secular, non-curriculum related clubs are also permitted;
• study comparative religion in class, as long as the course meets constitutional requirements of inclusiveness and balance;
• wear religious clothing and religious jewelry;
• initiate religious conversation during free time with fellow students as long as they do not engage in harassment.

Some school officials are not fully aware of the law and may attempt to infringe upon rights guaranteed to students' under the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Their current favorite technique is to claim that certain religious jewelry (cross, crucifix, star of David, pentacle) are gang symbols and thus prohibited. Legal groups who can come to the aid of students.

• Students can carry Bibles on the school bus;
• They carry Bibles with them while in school;
• They can read Bibles on school property, even in the classroom, if it is not during actual instruction time.
• They can freely read and use their Bible in a Christian club, if one or more secular, non-curriculum related clubs are also permitted in the same school.
