Boston, Rob. “60 years of Controversy.” Church & State Feb 2008: SIRS Researcher. SIRS Knowledge Source . Edina High School. 9 Dec 2008 http://sirs.com
Like numerous other sources, Boston reaches the readers attention by giving us some understanding on important “religion-in-public-schools” trials during our countries past.
In Zorach v. Clauson, the court ruled that a released time program was to be banned in a New York school. Students were being allowed to leave school during the day for religious instruction offsite. This is a clear form of disregard to the ruling of Separation between church and state because schools were taking time that was affecting state tax money to let kids leave for religious time outside of school. Likewise during Epperson v. Arkansas, the Supreme Court ruled out the decision that Arkansas public schools were not going to teach Evolution. Teachers were not teaching this scientific thought of life because it went against Genesis in the bible.
