Is School the Place for Spirituality? A Conversation with Rabbi Harold Kushner.
Scherer, Marge
Educational Leadership, v56 n4 p18-22 Dec-Jan 1998-1999
Harold Kushner, the author of "When Bad Things Happen to Good People" (1981), insists that public schools should never advocate particular religious views nor serve as forums for debating religious values. However, shared values such as truthfulness, accuracy, personal responsibility, acceptance of limitations, kindness, and cooperation should be emphasized and celebrated in schools. (MLH)
