What would school vouchers potentially violate if they are used at religious schools?
The issue of school vouchers is very interesting. The original purpose of the voucher was to provide money for private schools to stop integration of public schools. They were to keep white schools white in 1959. Since the publication of the book "Schools at Risk" the conservative influence on schools has compared them to a business rather than what they are. Schools are not created to make profits but to teach children. The new revamped voucher program argues parents have the "right" to choose the place of education for their children, but the use of taxpayer dollars to provide private religious education can be against the separation of church and state. The vouchers will not improve education, but rather remove funds from public schools and poor parents still won't be able to afford the private schools because the voucher given them won't cover the entire tuition. Research has shown that in schools where vouchers have taken over whole systems the schools loose ground in test results and the students do NOT improve. Private religious schools also do not have to take at risk students, special needs students, students who have other problems. Essentially they shut the doors on millions of students and put them at a disadvantage because the funds that should have gone to the public schools has gone to the private schools. If we want to improve schools we need to do several things. My PhD dissertation was on charter schools and the results of my research showed that we need to set a national agenda of what makes an educated person.

When did schools in the US stop talking about god in public schools?
To suggest that Schools do not talk about God, or the Bible, is simply misnomer in Nature, as they sometimes do. But as for the Question itself, Teaching Religion, in a Public, Tax Payer Supported School District, Tends to Violate Article One of the U.S. Constitution. One of the more Famous Tests ,of the Authority of Article One, to Prevent Religious Teaching at Tax Payer Expense is the following, Supreme Court Case-Abington School District v. Schempp & Murray v. Curlett (1963) Court DecisionArguments for both cases were heard on the 27th and 28th of February, 1963. On the 17th of June, 1963, the Court ruled 8-1 against of allowing the reciting of the Bible verses and the Lord's Prayer. Justice Clark wrote at length in his majority opinion about the history and importance of religion in America, but his conclusion was that the Constitution forbids any establishment of religion, that prayer is a form of religion, and that hence state-sponsored or mandated prayer in public schools cannot be allowed. There are quite a few similar cases involving the Breach of Article One, a simple search on the web, using such words as " Constitution and Public Prayer" will generate numerous hits.

When a state legalizes divorce does that violate the freedom of religion of those whose religion says that divorce is sinful?
A:There are some who believe that the religious beliefs that they hold entitle them to interfere in the rights of others, but would deny the rights of those who might follow different religious beliefs the right to meddle in their own affairs. Such people will never be satisfied and it is fruitless to seek common ground. Legalising divorce does not violate the religious freedom of those whose religion says that divorce is sinful, because it does not mandate that all couples must undergo divorce. On the other hand, failure to legalise divorce would violate the religious freedom of those who do not believe that divorce is sinful, or who believe that in certain circumstances divorce is the greater good.
