Christian Privilege in U.S. Education: Legacies and Current Issues

By Avner Segall and Kevin J. Burke

Book Overview

Using critical curriculum theory as its lens, this book explores the relationship between religion-specifically, Christianity and the Judeo-Christian ethos underlying it-and secular public education in the United States. Despite various 20th-century court decisions separating religion and education, the authors challenge that this is in reality the case. They argue instead that religion is in fact very much embedded in current public educational practices and discourses.
