Establishment Clause.

A public school principal leading a prayer at a graduation is government endorsement of religion and violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment (see Engel v. Vitale, 1962; Lee v. Weisman, 1992). The Free Exercise Clause protects individual religious practice and the "Lemon test" is a judicial test (from Lemon v. Kurtzman) not a separate constitutional clause.
