The Supreme Court ruled in Engel v. Vitale that school-led prayers were unconstitutional, deeming them a violation of the Establishment Clause. In a later case, Wallace v. Jaffree, the Supreme Court again ruled 6-3 that an Alabama law allowing for voluntary prayer or a moment of silence in schools was unconstitutional, finding that the state was not neutral towards religion. However, schools are permitted to implement a 1-minute period of silence for meditation or prayer.
