“…Religious faith can take on increased political significance when it comes to matters of education and educational policy (Boyd, Lugg, & Zahorcheck, 1996;Edwards, 1998;Fraser, 1999;Gaddy, Hall, & Marzano, 1996;Karst, 2003;Layton, 1996;Lugg, 1998;Marty, 2000;Provenzo & McCloskey, 2000;Zimmerman, 2002). For American public schools, the interplay between religion and public policy has been rather volatile, thanks to both state and federal constitutions mandating an ever shifting degree of separation between church and state, yet permitting free religious expression (see Gaddy et al, 1996;McCarthy, 2000McCarthy, , 2001.…”

For American public schools, the interplay between religion and public policy has been rather volatile, thanks to both state and federal constitutions mandating an ever shifting degree of separation between church and state, yet permitting free religious expression. Some of the most intense political disputes in the past 40 years have involved educational issues such as the teaching of evolution or intelligent design within public schools, publicly funded vouchers for attendance at religious institutions, state-sanctioned prayer within public schools, and the rise of sexuality education. This article seeks to map some of the contemporary features involved with religion and the politics of U.S. education by focusing on (a) recent court decisions, (b) the policy agendas of the current Bush administration, and (c) curricular issues. The article closes by focusing on a few of the larger issues relating to religion and education in a highly pluralistic and religiously fluid society.

As a backdrop for the discussion of education and religious beliefs, the author conveys a sense of the terrain of this debate from a legal point of view. Both the U.S. and the various state constitutions are implicated and the law on many central questions is unsettled. At the end, the author expresses her view that the law should resolve on the side of strong separation of church and state, which is desirable for political, institutional, and educational reasons.

Éducation Et Sociétés

Ce dossier s’intéresse à la façon dont les systèmes éducatifs, les programmes, les manuels, les enseignants et les élèves tentent de concilier le discours de la science dite occidentale avec les discours issus de la religion, de l’opinion et de la tradition qui comprennent des expressions locales de la magie et de la sorcellerie. Il traite de la question des identités, des croyances, du pouvoir et des résistances à l’école moderne. L’idée de concurrence des discours de vérité fait référence à Latour pour qui notre société moderne n’a jamais fonctionné conformément au grand partage qui fonde son système de représentation du monde. La fin du grand renfermement de l’école ou de la règle de claustration se traduit par la nécessité pour les élèves de jongler avec les vérités, qui s’imposent de façon différente selon les temps et les lieux.
