The Battle Over School Prayer: How Engel V. Vitale Changed America

by Bruce J. Dierenfield

Book Overview

It has become known to many as the moment when the U.S. Supreme Court kicked God out of the public schools, supposedly paving the way for a decline in educational quality and a dramatic rise in delinquency and immorality.
