brown v. board of education
the media and popular culture often erroneously credit atheist madalyn murray o'hair with removing school prayer from us public schools, when the case against recitation of the lord's prayer in baltimore schools was decided by the supreme court in 1963. a more significant case had reached the supreme court one year prior, suddenly changing the legal climate for school prayer. in 1955, the new york board of regents developed a prayer recommended (but not required) for the school districts under its purview. the prayer was relatively short: "almighty god, we acknowledge our dependence on thee, and we beg thy blessings upon us, our parents, our teachers, and our country." the board stated that the prayer would "combat juvenile delinquency and counter the spread of communism."
