=Case 3 was //Engel v. Vitale //, 370, U.S. 421 (1962). It involed the parents of students who went to this school which read them a prayer every morning. Parents argued that it was okay for the prayers to stay as long as they don't force any students to take part in it, because for some students, it was contrary to their beliefs, religion, and thought. The Supreme Court later overruled this decision and stopped public schools from reciting prayers as part of their routine. = =The prayers were not aimed towards a specific religion and students who didn't want to take part of their relgion didn't need to. = =This case pertains to Amendment 1, freedom of relgion. Praying in school would be a violation of the first amendment because prayers, for some, contradicts people's own religion and beliefs. Public schools cannot make students pray either because that is not the responsibilty of the government, but instead be protecting their rights to worship whoever they want to. =
