Protecting parental rights in education and the role of religious conscience in schooling.
This nonfiction work presents a Catholic viewpoint on the rights of parents to choose religious education for their children. It frames education as a natural and divine responsibility, arguing that state schools cannot fully separate learning from faith and conscience.
The text traces historical debates over public and parochial schools, cites legal opinions and court decisions, and contrasts Catholic and evangelical perspectives on how children should be taught. It defends parental authority to guide a child’s moral and religious formation and critiques policies that tax families for education they disagree with.
- Exposes the clash between secular schooling and religious conscience
- Explains the basis for parental duties in education and formation
- Summarizes landmark ideas from law, religion, and public policy on school choice
- Discusses how religious beliefs intersect with American ideas of liberty and democracy
Ideal for readers interested in education history, church–state questions, and the Catholic perspective on schooling choices.
This edition speaks to those seeking a historically grounded argument for parental control over religious education and the protection of conscience in schooling decisions.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a compelling argument for the inclusion of religious teachings in primary and secondary education. The author draws upon a wealth of expert opinions, including the views of university presidents, religious leaders, and prominent statesmen, all of whom stress the importance of religious instruction in fostering moral and virtuous citizens. The author argues that a system of education that excludes religious teachings is not only ineffective but also harmful, as it deprives children of the essential spiritual and moral guidance necessary for their development. In contrast, the author presents numerous examples of religious leaders who advocate for a diverse education system that acknowledges the religious freedom of all citizens. The book concludes by highlighting the vital role of religious instruction in creating a society grounded in ethical principles and spiritual values.
