Zorach v. Clausen

    0.35 sec.

Zorach v. Clausen

US Supreme Court decision of 1952 dealing with the inclusion of religious studies in public school education. A New York City programme that exempted some public school students from the required curriculum to pursue religious studies elsewhere was challenged as an unconstitutional marriage of church and state. The Court upheld the ‘release programme’, ruling that the division between church and state was not meant to be absolute.
