Church/State Fundamentals: Florey v. Sioux Falls School District (1980) Dec 31st 2011, 15:00 Roger Florey, an atheist, filed suit against a local school district's holiday programs, claiming that singing of religious carols during Christmas concerts, like "Silent Night" and "O Come All Ye Faithful," were a violation of the separation of church and state.
