Abstract | How should public education function within a diverse culture? Because the United States has a traditionally strong Christian heritage, many communities have in the past been comfortable absorbing the holidays and traditions of that heritage into public education. During the month of December, which is especially rich in religious ritual and celebration, educators must pay special attention to the larger goal of church and state separation. The difficulty lies in deciding what course to take among competing value systems and perceptions of the role of public education. Ultimately, many educators must recognize the complexity of the issue as well as the difficulty of reaching a consensus that will satisfy everyone's point of view. In this article, the author shares an experience that demonstrates how divided people are on this issue, but reminds readers of the law's requirements. (ERIC). |
