Cmon there, ok. Here’s a question. Please answer.

What is the relationship, if any, between “Everson” and “a wall of separation between church and State”?

Both the decision and the dissent used the phrase in their arguments and both sides seemed to agree with Jefferson and Madison that the desired effect of the religious clauses of the 1st Amendment was for there to be separation between Church and State.

For myself, I don't see how the government paying to bus kids to whatever school the kids (parents) want is an establishment of religion, and the majority opinion agreed, IIRC.
