- Title
PRIMARY AND SECONDARY RELIGIOUS SCHOOLS AND THE DISESTABLISHMENT OF EVERSON.
- Authors
STRASSER, MARK
- Abstract
Everson v. Board of Education, the seminal case in modern Establishment Clause jurisprudence, held that states are not constitutionally barred from providing school children with transportation to sectarian schools because states are not thereby using public dollars to support religious education. The Everson compromise—permitting states to help families send children to religious schools as long as the public dollars are not used to fund religious teaching, has now been turned on its head. The current Court has held that state dollars can and must be used to promote religious indoctrination if state dollars are used to promote private secular education. The Court’s Establishment jurisprudence makes a mockery of Everson and cannot help but further religious division and animosity.
