Separation of church and state does not appear in the Constitution but in a letter from Thomas Jefferson to the Danbury (CT) Baptist Church stating that government will not and shall not interfere in any denomination’s practices. It’s amazing how this has been misconstrued and misapplied.
They just slipped it into the textbooks and no one noticed.
I remember separation of church and state being emphasized as a core American value in history class. The textbook acknowledged it wasn't in the constitution but claimed the concept had been adhered to since the founding.
Just like that, an entire generation of kids were led to believe previous generations were hyper-concerned with keeping God out of government.
