"Faith and the Constitution Collide: A Landmark Supreme Court Case Turns 60. On April 3, 1962, the US Supreme Court heard a pivotal case that would shake the foundations of American public education and the separation of church and state. Engel v. Vitale, a lawsuit filed by parents in New York, challenged the constitutionality of mandatory school prayers, arguing that the practice violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. The case would ultimately lead to a groundbreaking decision that would redefine the boundaries between faith and public education, with far-reaching implications for generations to come."
