No person shall be required by the United States or any state to participate in prayer. Neither the United States nor any state shall compose the words of any prayer to be said in public schools. Apparently the motivation for making no distinction between vocal and silent prayer is that there have been several school-children suspended from school for praying vocally on the playground during recess.
