Religious Tolerance, Education and the Curriculum

ISBN: 9789460914119 出版年：2011 页码：162 Elizabeth Burns Coleman Kevin White Brill

The creation of a secular education system was one of the great social experiments designed to break down religious intolerance within society. One element of this design was administrative, involving the creation of non-denominational schools, and another element involved a centralised curriculum. In this collection of essays, political philosophers, lawyers, sociologists, theologians and educators explore the role of state schools in promoting tolerance within 21st century multicultural, religiously pluralistic societies.
