neutrality and possible move to another article

The tone here does not convey the balance of the 'accommodationism' debate -- when I read it, it sounds like that point of view is simply correct. The first block quote is from a scholar on one side, as far as I can tell, but without sufficient explanation of that fact. Wish I had time to work on it right now-- I don't at the moment -- but for anyone else working on this page, that's my thought.

It seems like it could be part of a different article, maybe one where 'accommodationism' is a section within a broader discussion of scholars/political views about the relationship/separation between churches and the state in the US. Yakásimba (talk) 22:06, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree that the tag is necessary or appropriate. Like many other legal theories, it has been implemented or applied in various court cases and/or statements by public officials. Besides, the opposite view is primarily covered in Separation of church and state in the United States. --1990'sguy (talk) 15:58, 30 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
