 THE CASE WALLACE VS. JAFFREE, 472 U.S. 38 (1985):
THE ISSUE WAS AN ALABAMA LAW REQUIRING THAT EACH SCHOOL DAY BEGIN WITH A
ONE MINUTE PERIOD OF SILENT MEDITATION OR VOLUNTARY PRAYER.

A MOMENT OF SILENCE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL DAY MANDATORY IN ALL

PUBLIC SCHOOLS WAS DESIGNED FOR THE SECULAR PURPOSE OF PREPARING STUDENTS
FOR A DAY OF LEARNING. THIS BILL HAD NO MENTION OF RELIGION. GIVEN THESE
RULINGS, IT APPEARS THAT SILENT PRAYERS PROVISIONS ARE NOT VULNERABLE TO
BEING INVALIDATED UNDER THE ESTABLISHMENT CLAUSE UNLESS THEY REPRESENT A
CLEAR INTENT TO HAVE CHILDREN PRAY IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.


DURING THIS TIME, ONE CAN QUICKLY MAKE A SILENT PRAYER OR CROSS
ONESELF.
