The New York State Appeals Court ruled in favor of the school, saying that the prayer was only voluntary.

The Prayer “Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence upon Thee, and we beg Thy blessings upon us, our parents, our teachers and our Country.”

Arguments Engel (The Parents) Believed that having an established school prayer, even a voluntary one, violated the separation of church and state. Even though the prayer was also nondenominational, it still went against the students first amendment rights because it acknowledged a god. Vitale (The School District) The main argument of the school was that the prayer was nondenominational so it didn’t show support to one particular religion. Also, because the prayer was voluntary it wasn’t required for students to recite. The Education Board said they hoped the prayer would help the students become better citizens and create better morals.
