Spirituality and the Public Schools: An Evangelical Perspective.
Baer, Richard A.; Carper, James C.
Educational Leadership, v56 n4 p33-37 Dec-Jan 1998-1999

Today's schools are dominated by secular humanism. Only through state-supported school choice and released time for religious instruction can all students truly experience religious freedom.
