The easy answer is to avoid the problems which are incumbent in a (religious establishment) in some countries, where they have an established church, it gets often far beyond the church buildings and even educational facilities- for example the Established Church in Denmark (which is evangelical Lutheran) operates a state-run Farm credit bureau, now if you need to finance a new tractor...) Nothing like this exists in the United States! The idea was to reinforce the (Wall of Separation) this does not exclude Chaplains in the senate and the Armed Forces, however.

When did God become banned in school?

The meaning of this question is uncertain. I think you may have meant to ask, "When was religion banned in schools?" In which case, I can't answer the question worldwide, but here in the United States, it never was. Students are allowed to be as religious as they want (e.g.: pray during tests, run and attend scripture study clubs for any religion, &c.). However, in public schools, teachers aren't allowed to force students to participate in any given religion as this would violate the first amendment to the United States Constitution that government will not respect any religion above all other religions, since public schools are ran and funded by the government, and their teachers essentially work for the government.
