Classroom Crusades

Responding to the Religious Right's Agenda for Public Schools

"The religious right and the broader conservative movement understand that schools play an essential role by instilling society's values in a new generation of people.

They know if they are to reverse the gains of the women's, civil rights, environmental and gay rights movements, they must pay attention to school curriculum and culture."

This quote from "The Right's Attack on Public Schools" underscores the importance of increasing one's awareness of these hidden agendas.

Rethinking Schools is proud to present this special publication. It is intended to spur increased awareness not only among parents and teachers, but among all citizens who value the Bill of Rights and embrace this country's diversity.
