Abstract
Many times school districts and other government agencies attempt to justify acts of censorship targeted directly at religious people on the basis of what has been commonly referred to as the "separation of Church and State." Although the phrase "separation of Church and State" never appears in our Constitution, Bill of Rights, or other founding documents, groups opposed to religion in general, and Christianity in particular, argue that the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment (which prohibits states from interfering with churches) somehow requires that there be a wall of separation between religious people and governmental affairs.
