Overview

Two cornerstones of American democracy - separation of church and state, and public schools - are under increasing attack.

The eminent contributors to this book argue that we need to defend both institutions against increasing onslaughts by the Religious Right and other self-proclaimed arbiters of societal behaviour, who seek to dictate public policy and who are labelling the public schools themselves as ""immoral"" institutions. At issue here is not whether public schools need to be improved. It is assumed that improvement is necessary.
