In 1963 there started to be some people against the Lord's Prayer in public schools.

The U. S. Supreme Court issued two bans. One in 1962 and the second in 1963. Both bans were the result of lawsuits against the teaching of religion and religious practices in public schools. Basically stating that organized prayer in schools was a violation of the separation of church and state. It was decided that publicly funded schools were an extension of the state, and that organized prayer or Bible readings were a form of proselytizing. The bans not only banned mandatory prayer in schools but also banned the daily reading of bible passages.
The lawsuits were supported by several organizations but the most outspoken supporter for banning prayer in schools came from Madalyn Murray O'Hair, the founder of American Atheists, Inc.

The actual prayer that was banned from public schools was a specific prayer known as the "Regents' Prayer" or the "Almighty God" prayer. This prayer was recited in some public schools in the United States before the ban.

Private, religious schools may require prayer and religious studies.

Madalyn Murray O'Hare is the woman responsible for prayer not being allowed in schools.
When did Madeline O'Hare take prayer out of schools?
She didn't and no one has taken prayer out of schools. It was never there in the first place. We have a separation of church and state and to pray in schools would violate that. Whose prayer would you say each day? We have many religions and many people who don't believe in God. There is no state religion in the United States. If you want to pray in school, go ahead. You can say a silent prayer any time, any day you want.

Yes, but Catholics also believe that everyone should have the right to practice their own religion. In Catholic schools, there is prayer everyday, and Catholics believe that in public schools where there are kids of all different religions, they should have the freedom to pray or not.
What tragedies and disasters have happened since prayer and Bible reading were taken out of the public schools?
Respect and honor were taken out of the schools when prayer ended. Be you a Christian or not it's a learning curve to think about and teaches kids to know right from wrong. Take a look at Columbine (kids being bullied and retaliating back at classmates and teachers) and just recently a University tragedy. Kids can be cruel.Gee, perhaps they should take the National Anthem of the U.S. and Canada out next and burn the flags!AnswerYeah, it probably wouldn't make anything better, though! Answerprayer was taken out of schools in 1962. in my opinion its NOT a good thing that they did that because we all need prayer and maybe things would get better in schools if they put prayer back in.
