The Regents' Prayer was a short, non-denominational prayer composed in 1960 by the New York State Board of Regents, intended for voluntary recitation in public schools. It aimed to promote moral values and community spirit among students. However, it faced legal challenges, culminating in a landmark Supreme Court decision in 1962 (Engel v. Vitale), which ruled that its recitation in public schools violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, thus prohibiting state-sponsored prayer in schools.
