Constitution Day Program

In today's Constitution Day Program, Provost Timothy O'Rourke will examine the Supreme Court's consideration of a Missouri case in which the state denied grant funding for playground resurfacing at a religiously-affiliated daycare center. This 2017 case—Trinity Lutheran Church v. Comer—shares compelling similarities to the 1947 Everson v. Board of Education case, and raises important questions about the state, religion, and the challenging intersections of the two.
