Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. At the end of the 19th Century, New Haven, Connecticut's Board of Education voted to discontinue religious exercises in public schools. This decision prompted intense debate among residents and school officials. This book examines this incident, the arguments made by both sides, and the place of religion in the American school system. The author analyzes the historical and legal precedents which define the United States as a Christian nation. Further, this book discusses the changing religious landscape of the United States and the obligations the government has to protect religious freedom. The book concludes that the decision to remove religious exercises from public schools was a progressive and necessary step, and an important development in the ongoing debate over the separation of church and state in the United States.
