The U.S. Supreme Court recently approved a Cleveland-based school voucher program that raises serious establishment-of-religion questions and heralds potentially far-reaching changes in church–state relations. The Court’s opinion in that case, Zelman v. Simmons-Harris, 536 U.S. 639 (2002), is assessed here in view of the social and historical contexts in which these issues have arisen as well as for its coherence with First Amendment principles and ensuing policy implications.
