Eugene Provenzo considers and addresses the impact that the fundamentalist movement has had on such issues as censorship, textbook content, Creationism versus Evolution, the family and education, school prayer, and the state regulation of Christian schools. In exploring both sides of the debate, however, the author concludes that many fundamentalists' concerns are justified, due to a basic inconsistency between the rights guaranteed under the First Amendment and the position that many public schools have legally assumed. Eugene F. Provenzo is Professor in the School of Education at the University of Miami, Coral Gables.SUNY series in philosophy of education.SUNY series, frontiers in education.Church and educationUnited StatesPublic schoolsUnited StatesFundamentalismChurch and educationPublic schoolsFundamentalism.371/.01/0973Provenzo Eugene F917517MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910954795203321Religious fundamentalism and American education4472285UNINA
