Separation of Church and State Protects Both Secular and Religious Worlds.
Singer, Alan
Phi Delta Kappan, v81 n6 p462-65 Feb 2000
Reasonable-sounding essays in the September 1999 "Kappan," advocating expansion of religion's influence in public education are fundamentally flawed by unstated assumptions and selective historical references. The wall of church/state separation is probably the best way to ensure religious freedom and protect both secular and religious worlds. (Contains 16 references.) (MLH)
