In Engel v. Vitale the Supreme Court decided that prayer in school?

In Engel v. Vitale (1962), the Supreme Court ruled that the voluntary recitation of a school-sponsored prayer, even if non-denominational, violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. The Court held that the government should not be involved in composing or endorsing religious activities in public schools, as it effectively promotes religion. This landmark decision reinforced the principle of separation of church and state in the context of public education.
