Religion in the Public Schools

The place of religion in the nation's public schools has been hotly debated for years, and recent efforts to introduce more religion into schools have increased the controversy. To highlight the potential problems and to provide guidelines, ADL has published this handbook for school board members, school administrators, teachers, parents and others. The handbook focuses on the constitutional mandate of separation of church and state as it applies to the public school setting. The handbook also contains sample scenarios in order to illustrate issues throughout.
