Engel v. Vitale

US Supreme Court decision of 1962 dealing with the constitutionality of prayer in public schools. The case was brought against the New York Board of Regents for instituting an official daily prayer in the state's public schools. The Court ordered the regents to terminate the programme, ruling that the government should not involve itself in the creation of any official religious practice, sectarian or not.
