Of the three positions on the separation between church and state, I believe the best approach is accommodationism. This would allow “government aid to certain religion-sponsored activities as long as no religion is favored over any other religion” (Epstein, p.126). “In every case, the Court has remained steadfast in its position that such exercises [of school-sponsored prayer] run counter to the commands of the establishment clause” (Epstein & Walker, 155)
