prayer and religious
discussion:
The
Establishment Clause of the First Amendment does not prohibit purely
private religious speech by students. Students .. have the
same
right to engage in
individual or group prayer and religious discussion during the school
day .... (S)tudents may read their Bibles or other
scriptures,
say grace before meals, and
pray before tests to the same extent they may engage in comparable
nondisruptive activities. Local school authorities
can impose rules of order ....
on student activities, but they may not structure or administer such
rules to discriminate against religious activity or speech. Graduation prayer and baccalaureates: ... school officials may not mandate or organize prayer at graduation, nor organize religious baccalaureate ceremonies. If a school generally opens its facilities to private groups, it must make its facilities available on the same terms to organizers of privately sponsored religious baccalaureate services. |

| Teaching values: Though schools must be neutral with respect to religion, they may play an active role with respect to teaching civic values and virtue and the moral code that holds us together as a community. The fact that some of these values are held also by religions does not make it unlawful to teach them in school. |
