Religion in Schools. OVERVIEW (1)

The current event I have just read is about how often there are complaints about religious activity in publics schools. "'We receive two or three complaints a week...'" is what Steven Green says. Steven Green is the legal director of Americans Unites for Separation of Church and State. He thinks that there are so many calls because many schools don't know what is allowed and what isn't. This is because the Supreme Court supposedly left a lot of openings for loop holes that schools find. Jay Sekulow, chief counsel at the American Center for Legal Justice, claims that "It's not easy to draw the line between accommodating religious expression in a public school and endorsing religion." Those who are the most common complainers are the fundamentalists and evangelical Christian orgainizations.
