| Σύνοψη: | The principle of separation of church and state in America makes impossible the direct teaching of religion in public schools. By implication anti-religious propaganda is also excluded. The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 declares that religion is to be encouraged. The common law back of the Constitution recognizes Christianity as a part of the law of the land. This has been expressly stated in a Pennsylvania court decision. Legislation prohibiting teaching contrary to Christianity is thus probably constitutional. The difficulty of such legislation will lie in the definition of terms and the administration of the law. |
