In reality, the Supreme Court has never ruled that it's illegal for individual students to pray in public schools. Rather, the Supreme Court found in the 1962 case Engel vs. Vitale that school-sponsored prayer in public schools violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment — even if students are given the opportunity to voluntarily opt-out.

The high court didn't find that "it's illegal for Christians" to pray or practice their religious beliefs in school on an individual basis, as the Christian Post claims.

Charles Haynes, a First Amendment scholar and the director of the Religious Freedom Education Project, explains that “students of all faiths are actually free to pray alone or in groups during the school day, as long as they don’t disrupt the school or interfere with the rights of others."

Haynes goes further by explaining that students openly practice their religious beliefs at school more now than at any time time in the last 100 years:

The U.S. Supreme Court has never ruled that kids can’t pray in school. What the Court has done — and continues to do — is to strike down school-sponsored prayers and devotional exercises as violations of religious liberty.

As a result of those decisions, school officials may not impose prayers, or organize prayer events, or turn the school auditorium into the local church for religious celebrations.

Students, however, aren’t the government; they can — and often do — openly pray and share their faith in public schools.

So, while it's true that Muslim students in Maryland, Michigan and Arizona are allowed to pray at public schools, the same is true for Christian students and students of all religions across the country. For that reason, we're calling this one "truth" and "misleading."
