When did the Supreme Court rule against school Bible-reading?

  • 1953

  • 1999

  • 1978

  • 1963

Answer

The Supreme Court ruled against school Bible-reading in 1963. The decision was based on the establishment clause of the First Amendment, which prohibits the government from establishing religion. The Court held that Bible-reading in public schools violates the establishment clause because it sends a message of government endorsement of religion.
