An Examination of the Legal Context for Teaching Ethics.

Janes, Larry

NASSP Bulletin, v74 n528 p25-30 Oct 1990

Teaching ethical values is often challenged as an infringement on students' religious rights. This article addresses key questions concerning schools' legal responsibilities, courts' treatment of curriculum-related challenges based on alleged First Amendment violations, and courts' handling of teacher proselytizing or "opting out" cases. Includes 13 references. (MLH)
