Why was prayer removed from our schools?
http://www.ffrf.org/fttoday/back/myth.html A Supreme Court decision banned government-sponsored prayer from the public schools.
That decision was made some 26 years ago on June 25, 1962 in Engel v. Vitale. Engel, a Jewish resident of New York, objected to the prayer composed by the New York State Board of Regents and recommended for adoption by the public school districts of New York. The prayer read as follows:
"Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence upon Thee we beg Thy blessings upon us, our parents, our teachings and ourcountry."
Thank you.
BTW, I wonder if Michael Newdow is a Jew. I know he is an atheist. Serious question.
