when did they take prayer out of schools?
1962
during his term in office, reagan campaigned vigorously to restore organized prayer to the schools, first as a moment of prayer and later as a moment of silence. in 1981, reagan became the first president to propose a constitutional amendment on school prayer. reagan's election reflected an opposition to the 1962 supreme court case "engel v. vitale", prohibiting state officials from composing an official state prayer and requiring that it be recited in the public schools. reagan's 1981 proposed amendment stated: "nothing in this constitution shall be construed to prohibit individual or group prayer in public schools or other public institutions. no person shall be required by the united states or by any state to participate in prayer." in 1984, reagan again raised the issue, asking congress "why can't freedom to acknowledge god be enjoyed again by children in every schoolroom across this land?" in 1985, reagan expressed his disappointment that the supreme court ruling still banned a moment of silence for public schools, and said that efforts to reinstitute prayer in public schools were "an uphill battle". in 1987 reagan renewed his call for congress to support voluntary prayer in schools and end "the expulsion of god from america's classrooms."

daffodils may be self-coloured—i.e., both perianth and corona identical in colour and shade—or the colours between the perianth and corona may differ widely. some perianths and some coronas may also contain more than one colour or shade. prevalent colours are all shades and tones of yellow, white, orange, pink, red and green. pinks vary from apricot to rose in shades from pale to deep, and some more recent cultivars have hints of lavender or lilac. reds vary from orange-red to salmon red to near scarlet. pink, red, orange and green tones are mainly confined to the corona. however, breeders are currently working against the genus' natural pigmentation and genetic barriers to create cultivars in which pink, rose, red, orange and green tones suffuse or "bleed" from the more highly coloured coronas onto the perianth segments of white or yellow. there is an increasing number of commercially available varieties which display this enhanced colouration.
