Recent trends and developments regarding the practice of religion in public schools are discussed in this report. Topics included are prayer, display of religious symbols and materials, holiday observances, weekend activities, distribution and study of scriptural literature, "parochiaid," and religious discrimination. The author concludes that the Establishment Clause of the U. S. Constitution has been breached with increasing frequency because of a trend towards more conservative attitudes by the public at large who are not tolerant of minority views; the growth of the Christian evangelical movement and its entry into politics; and the apparent willingness of judges to relax previous interpretations of the tri-partite test to evaluate governmental activity challenged under the Establishment Clause.
