Thanks Enterprise! But I had thought there was something about schools she did too.

This is something pulled from a Wiki article about her:

“She is best known for the Murray v. Curlett lawsuit, which led to a landmark Supreme Court ruling ending official Bible-reading in American public schools in 1963. Officially-sponsored prayer in schools had been ended a year earlier by the Supreme Court in Engel v. Vitale. O’Hair later founded American Atheists and became so controversial that in 1964 Life magazine referred to her as “the most hated woman in America.”

Here’s a link about that court case on Wiki:

That may be what you’re talking about.

If a conservative is an unbeliever, he doesn’t pray or attend church. If a liberal is an unbeliever he wants all mention of God removed from public life.
