Details Board Regents from the state of New York allowed a prayer to be said at public school While 22 states agreed with New York that it was constitutional, 3 religious groups protested that it was unconstitutional ishouldbelaughing.blogspot.com

Where this led to… This case led to rulings on multiple Supreme Court cases such as Wallace v. Jaffree (1985) (banned one minute prayer meditation) Lee v. Weisman (1992) (clergy-run prayer at graduations) Santa Fe ISD v. Doe (2000) (banned student-led prayer at public school) /54/Default.aspx
