Religious Charter Schools

"This book discusses the legality of religion-based charter schools. A charter school, like any state funded school, cannot endorse religion: the law is quite clear about that. However, a charter school, like any other public school, can accommodate students' religions: the law is clear about that too." "This book answers the questions on the minds of those who would start religion-based charter schools: Can a charter school teach a course in the relationship between religion and morality? Can a charter school have a religious criteria for staff? Can a charter school limit a teacher's right to express different worldviews? Can a charter school offer optional prayer? Can a charter school share facilities with a religious school? Can a religious organization operate a charter school? The answer to each of these questions, and others, is analyzed from a legal perspective. The book also explains the Supreme Court's latest precedent in church-state issues."--Jacket.
