aug 7, 1962 - Engel v Vitale

Description:

Court ruling banning prayer in public schools. Reading the Bible is banned one year later. There are further attempts to remove moral instruction from schools as people talked of a value free-education in the 70s and 80s. "Students will learn implicitly or explicitly," about right and wrong, " wether the school addresses and teaches moral education purposely or not" (Ryan, 2015).
