Zorach v. Clauson
Definition
- The Supreme Court 6-3 decision Zorach v. Clauson (1952) upheld New York City’s “released time” policy that permitted public school children to leave campus during school hours to attend religious instruction and services. Justice William O. Douglas found that the policy violated neither the free exercise nor establishment clause of the First Amendment. [Source: Encyclopedia of the First Amendment; Zorach v. Clauson (1952)]
