Course Description:
Why are religion and race perennial issues in public schools when the U.S. Supreme Court declared school segregation and school prayer unconstitutional over half a century ago? And, how are religion and race connected in educational history? In this course, we explore these questions by studying court cases, policies, and grassroots campaigns on topics such as public school Bible-reading, book banning, and holiday celebrations. In doing so, we evaluate how the intersecting colonial histories of American religion, race, and education have made public schools key sites for the moral formation of American children, and therefore, of negotiating American identity. |
