Similarly to the Free Exercise Clause, the Establishment Clause is also in the First Amendment, written as “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion”. The Establishment Clause prevents the government from protecting or preferring one religion over another. As the public school system is controlled by the government, the Establishment Clause is often cited in court cases as a way to remove a non-secular aspect of a public school from the system. http://www.uscourts.gov/educational-resources/educational-activities/first-amendment-and-religion http://az616578.vo.msecnd.net/files/2015/07/04/635716335783776523-1907621126_shutterstock_96065306.imgopt1000x70.jpg
