Excerpt from Report of the Committee on Schools and Views of the Minority of the Board of Education of the New Haven City School District: Concerning the Discontinuance of Religious Exercises in the Public Schools
As we have before said, the Bible long ago ceased to be a text book of instruction in our schools. Its continued use was only as a means of devotion. The discontinuance of this use, therefore, is no expression as to the educational merits of our English Bible. It is no expression as to its devotional or religious merits so long as no substitute for it is required. It is simply the declaration that as no relig ious forms can be observed in our State schools without a virtual State sanction of the form in use and of the purely' religious truths therein embodied, and as such sanction is beyond the proper scope of the State, at least where, as here, there is any considerable body of dissentients, therefore it ought not to be attempted. The introduc tion of the English Bible as literature, to be studied as Homer and Virgil, Milton, Shakespeare, and other great literary works are studied, is an entirely separate ques tion, in no way connected with that now under discussion. And the value of a knowledge of the contents of the Bible, or of a familiarity with its English style, is also a' matter so distinct in its nature as not to call for discus sion here.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. At the end of the 19th Century, New Haven, Connecticut's Board of Education voted to discontinue religious exercises in public schools. This decision prompted intense debate among residents and school officials. This book examines this incident, the arguments made by both sides, and the place of religion in the American school system. The author analyzes the historical and legal precedents which define the United States as a Christian nation. Further, this book discusses the changing religious landscape of the United States and the obligations the government has to protect religious freedom. The book concludes that the decision to remove religious exercises from public schools was a progressive and necessary step, and an important development in the ongoing debate over the separation of church and state in the United States. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
