At issue here was an Alabama law requiring that each school day begin with a one minute period of "silent meditation or voluntary prayer" (the original 1978 law read only "silent meditation," but the words "or voluntary prayer" were added in 1981). A student's parent sued alleging that this law violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment because it forced students to pray and basically exposed them to religious indoctrination. The District Court permitted the prayers to continue, but the Court of Appeals ruled that they were unconstitutional, so the state appealed to the Supreme Court.
Wallace v. Jaffree, 472 US 38 (1985)It was a 1985 US Supreme Court decision arising out of an Alabama case challenging the states establishment of a one minute silent prayer period at the beginning of each school day. The one minute prayer was ruled unconstitutional.
No, the US Supreme court found in: Wallace v. Jaffree, 472 U.S. 38 (1985), that the law was Unconstitutional and struck it down.
