A Rare Religious Reversal.
Zirkel, Perry A.
Phi Delta Kappan, v79 n4 p330-31 Dec 1997

Ball" as inconsistent with their current understanding of the Establishment Clause, U.S. Supreme Court majority held that "a federally funded program providing supplemental, remedial instruction to disadvantaged children on a neutral basis is not unconstitutional" when given on sectarian school premises by government employees following certain safeguards.
