Line 1:
Line 1: − In '''''Wallace v. Jaffree''''', 472 U.S. 38 (1985), the [[U.S. Supreme Court]] held that a mandatory moment of silence to be used for meditation or voluntary prayer was unconstitutional.+ − − Justice [[Sandra Day O'Connor]] concurred in the judgment and addressed the argument that this holding would render the [[Pledge of Allegiance]] unconstitutional because Congress amended it in 1954 to add the words "under God": − − :"In my view, the words 'under God' in the Pledge, as codified at (36 U.S.C. 172), serve as an acknowledgment of religion with 'the legitimate secular purposes of solemnizing public occasions, [and] expressing confidence in the future.'" − [[category:United States Supreme Court Cases]]
