Some say religion and public schools should never mix. This
belief is often supported by the 1962 and 1963 U.S. Supreme Court
decisions, Abington v. Shempp and Murray v. Curlett, banning prayer
and devotional Bible readings in public schools.
However, there is another part of these rulings we often forget.
The court also affirmed that public schools are legally free and
even expected to teach about religion. The book "American Public
School Law" states in regard to these cases, "The Court did point
out, however, that the study of the Bible and religion, as part of a
secular program of education for their literary and historic values,
would not be unconstitutional."
