Establishment of Religion

Should the people of New York be able to require public students to pray at the beginning of the school day?

“Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence upon Thee, and we beg Thy blessings upon us, our parents, our teachers and our country.” Prayer from NY schools declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in 1962 (in Engel v. Vitale).

(65% of the 2302.8006 class thought yes.)
