Equipping the Faithful for Back to School Time

St. Petersburg, FL, August 09, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Just in time for the new school year, the National Center for Life and Liberty announces the release of their book, "Making Sense of Religion in America’s Public Schools." Christian parents have questions: Can my child opt out of an offensive assignment? Is prayer still allowed anywhere in school? Can students meet for Bible study? Public school teachers who are believers are asking: Can I keep a Bible on my desk? If a child is troubled, can I speak to them about the Lord?

Authored by Attorney David Gibbs III and Attorney Barbara Weller from the National Center for Life and Liberty, this resource is intended to help individuals understand their rights to exercise their faith in the public school arena. It is also designed to help families, students, teachers, school officials, and community leaders sort through the current legal maze of religious expression in America’s public schools.

In 1947, the United States Supreme Court took a sharp left turn in its interpretation of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution as it was applied to public schools in America. Since then, students, teachers, school officials, parents, and local religious leaders have been struggling to understand the parameters of the Establishment Clause as it relates to religious expression in public schools. This resource is intended to help individuals understand their rights to exercise their faith in the public school arena. It is also designed to help families, students, teachers, school officials, and community leaders sort through the current legal maze of religious expression in America’s public schools.

The National Center for Life and Liberty (NCLL) is a non-profit, legal ministry consisting of five centers—the Center for Life Defense, the Center for Church Liberty, the Center to Advance the USA, the Center for Christian Education, and the Center for Homeschool Liberty.
