EXTRACT FROM UNITED STATES REPORTS Page 421 Yol. 37  

ENGEL ET AL. Y. VITALE ET AL.  

Because of the prohibition of the First Amendment  

against the enactment of any law "respecting an establishment  

of religion," which is made applicable to the States by the  

Fourteenth Amendment, state officials may not compose an  

official state prayer and require that it be recited in the  

public schools of the State at the beginning of each school  

day even if the prayer is denominationally neutral and  

pupils who wish to do so may remain silent or be excused  

from the room while the prayer is being recited.  

"Almight God, we acknowledge our dependence upon  

Thee, and we beg Thy blessing upon us, our parents, our  

teachers and our Country."
