Did lemon vs kurtzman established the right to 'moment of scilence'?
LEmon Vs Kurtzman was a deciding case in the age old concept of church and state being seperate. This case proposed a test called the Lemon test, which looked into the state-funding of religious schools. The test proposed that the school must: Have a legitimate, secular purpous Not have the primary effect of inhibiting or promoting religion Not promote excessive entanglement between the church and state. This ruling was actually a set of three cases, Lemon v. Kurtzman, Earley v. DiCenso, and Robinson v. DiCenso. The ruling just became known under the first case, Lemon v. Kurtzman. This decision is especially significant because it created the aforementioned Lemon Test for evaluating laws relating to the relationship between church and state. It is a benchmark for all later decisions regarding religious liberty - some people love it, some hate it. For more info see http://www.answers.com/topic/lemon-v-kurtzman
