Was God kicked out of schools by the Supreme Court?

"One of the most frequently lamentations has been a mantra summarizing a decisive turning point that must be corrected: "In 1963, the Supreme Court kicked God out of the public schools” This refrain refers to the June 17, 1963, U.S Supreme Court decision in the case of Abington Township School District v. Schempp. The Supreme Court prohibited school officials from organizing or leading devotional Bible reading or prayers in public schools. The details of the ruling , which often are lost in the image evoked by the mantra, lay out thoughtful and constructive clarifications for public schools. No one is banned from bringing a Bible to school, or praying in school, or forming religious groups as long as the religious activities don’t interfere with the rights of others or the educational mission of the schools. Nor does the ruling ban the study of religion as an integral component of human history and experience. To protect the religious freedom of the students whatever their faith or beliefs might be, it does prohibit public school teachers and administrators from either promoting or denigrating religion."
