'''''Lemon v. Kurtzman''''' (1971) was a landmark, [[Supreme Court]] decision marking a victory for the [[liberal]] interpretation of [[separation of church and state]]. The decision established a test called the "Lemon Test" which was used to determine whether or not federal funds could be appropriated to be spent at a Catholic or other parochial school.

In practice the ruling has been applied to impose a test for [[separation of church and state]] under the [[First Amendment]] that is hostile to almost any religious expression on [[government]] property.
