Engel v. Vitale
Definition
- Engel v. Vitale (1962) is noteworthy because it is the U.S. Supreme Court's first case involving state–sponsored prayer in public schools. After striking down prayer in Engel, the Court has handed down an unbroken line of cases prohibiting state–sponsored prayer or religious activities in public schools.
