"The Regent'sSchool Prayer" (Engel v. Vitale,1962)
The New York education system adopted aschool prayer to be said before the start of each day's classes. Thisprayer promoted good moral character, provided spiritual training, and helped combat juvenile delinquency. The regents wrote aschool prayer that was non-sectarian or denominational. In fact, it was so bland that it became known as the "to whom it may concernprayer." Here it is: "Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence upon thee, and we beg Thy blessings upon us, our parents, our teachers and our Country."
