United States of America (USA)

The First Amendment of the United States Constitution prohibits the government from establishing an official religion, supporting religious activity, or giving preference to any religion. It also prohibits the government from interfering with the expression of religious beliefs. The tension between these two prohibitions has created significant confusion regarding what schools and educators may and may not do. This practice guide is intended to provide a very basic road map of what is permissible, what is prohibited, and how the study of religion can be incorporated as part of a complete education.
