Description
The relationship of religion and public education is, once again, a burning issue, with renewed debates about school prayer, ways to teach the Bible, and the relationship of religion and science. Battles over the proper relationship of religion to public education have gone on in the United States for as long as there have been public schools. This text explores the issues of dominating cultures, minority rights and tradition in terms of historical context and contemporary public policy debates.
