Yet today, as a matter of complying with the law, we must think about and try to understand religion and the public schools, a subject that will only grow more complex for tomorrow's teachers, administrators, students, attorneys, and political leaders. The question is: What is an effective way to study, address and raise questions about an important legal and moral topic that not only embraces a wide range of academic disciplines - history, religion, the law, sociology, the arts - but also places a burden of objectivity on each of us ...
