Editorial Reviews

Two essays examine the impact of religion on the culture and activities of US public schools. Another six explore denomination, law, public policy, and financing of religion- affiliated schools. They address the central questions of keeping schools affordable while paying a living wage to personnel, maintaining religious identities while a growing proportion of students are not members of the sponsoring denomination, and keeping religious uniqueness if public support becomes available. Double spaced. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
