Separation of church and state in the United States
Jeffries and Ryan (2001) argue that the modern concept of separation of church and state dates from the mid-twentieth century rulings of the Supreme Court. The central point, they argue, was a constitutional ban against aid to religious schools, followed by a later ban on religious observance in public education. Jeffries and Ryan argue that these two propositions--that public aid should not go to religious schools and that public schools should not be religious--make up the separationist position of the modern Establishment Clause.
