Engel v. Vitale
Engel v. Vitale On 25 June 1962, the Supreme Court ruled (6–1) that public school officials cannot lead students in repeating a state-authored prayer, even one that is nondenominational and from which students may excuse themselves. Such a ceremony violates the First Amendment’s prohibition against established religions. The Court reaffirmed Engel in Abington Township v. Schempp.
