Über dieses Buch
Changes in perception of human rights are destined to have a profound effect on the place of religion and the status of sectarian schools in Canada. This book examines the past and present relationship between church and state in Canadian education and the possible future of this relationship.
This book gives an account of controversies surrounding the rights of some religious denominations to establish and operate public schools in Canada, with specific reference to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and to the constitutional amendments used to end denominational rights in two provinces.
Information zu Autoren / Herausgebern
Recipient of the CEA/Whitworth Award for contributions to educational research, Robert Crocker is Professor Emeritus at Memorial University. He was Associate Deputy Minister of Education in Newfoundland, where he was involved in negotiations leading to the constitutional amendment ending religious control of education in that province. He also served as a member of the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council and as President of the Canadian Educational Researchers’ Association.
Rezensionen
Michael Ledger-Lomas:
Crocker’s book is both a patient attempt to understand how this strange compromise arose and a dogged argument that it is high time to do away with it. As a former associate deputy minister of education in Newfoundland, Crocker is quite familiar with the secularization of his own province’s education system in the late 1990s. In some ways, Religion and Schooling in Canada reads like an expansion of his own notes from that time. Its rigorously, even oppressively detailed historical portions convey the happenstance creation of public support for religious schools in much of the country.

David King, former Alberta minister of Education:
This book is a much-needed new resource about an issue immediately important to some, and ultimately important to all of us. The range of the book, from the historic to the contemporary, is helpful, the scholarship is careful and thorough, and the writing is clear. Separate school education is about more than education. It is also about citizenship, individual rights, and maintaining ‘the public’ in a democracy. Religion and Schooling in Canada: The Long Road to Separation of Church and State will appeal to interested citizen-agents as well as to commentators and scholars.
