In our Courts recently

The separation of church and state was appropiately affirmed in favor of religion by two recent case before Circuit Courts.

U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, Cholla Ready Mix, Inc. v. Mendez (09/01/04 - No. 03-15423). the case held that "The Establishment Clause does not bar the government from protecting an historically and culturally important site simply because the site's importance derives at least in part from its sacredness to certain groups."

U.S. 8th Circuit Court of Appeals, Wiggs v. Sioux Falls School (09/03/04 - No. 03-2956, 03-3107) with the holding that "Plaintiff-teacher's participation in after-school activities held by a Christian club did not justify defendant-school district's ban on her participation where plaintiff's association with the club constituted private speech and did not put school at risk of violating the Establishment Clause."

Both quoted holdings are a statement from Recently in the Courts and are not necessarily from the actual holding itself.
