Exploring the Impact of Supreme Court Decisions on Public School Secularization and Desegregation
Following the Supreme Court’s landmark decisions outlawing prayer and devotional Bible readings in public schools, as well as the end of racial segregation, the educational landscape in America underwent significant changes. Leslie Beth Ribovich, author of Without a Prayer: Religion and Race in New York City Public Schools, joins us to delve into the impact of these decisions on public school secularization and desegregation, and their lasting legacies.
This episode of the Revealer podcast explores how religion continued to manifest in public schools post-Supreme Court rulings and how communities of color advocated for their own educational visions. As we navigate current debates surrounding public education, understanding this historical context sheds light on the ongoing discussions about the curriculum and practices in American public schools.
