Question

The Court ruled that public schools could not require students to read the Bible nor hear the Bible read as part of official school activities.

Brown v. Board of Education

Miranda v. Arizona

Abington School District v. Schempp

Answer 1

The court case you are referring to is **Abington School District v. Schempp**. Decided in 1963, the Supreme Court ruled that school-sponsored Bible readings and prayers in public schools violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, which prohibits the government from establishing an official religion or unduly favoring one religion over another. This case reinforced the principle of separation of church and state in the context of public education.
