How to Think about Religious Schools: Principles and Policies by Matthew Clayton

Description: How to Think about Religious Schools by Matthew Clayton, Andrew Mason, Adam Swift Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description A clear and accessible account of what is at stake in debates about religious schools. The volume provides a way of thinking about the disagreements between defenders of religious schools and their critics that enables us to see more clearly what is at issue. Publisher Description Should religious schools be an option? Should they receive public funding? Are they bad for community cohesion? What should we make of the charge that they indoctrinate? How should they be regulated? People disagree on the answers to these questions. Some maintain that religious schools should not be permitted. If parents want to raise their children in a particular faith at home, then that is up to them, but schools should not be involved. Others think it obviousthat parents should be free to send their children to religious schools. Any government that ruled that out would be violating parents right to religious freedom, or their right to raise their childrenaccording to their own beliefs. In order to make progress on these issues, we need a way of thinking about them that enables us to understand more clearly what is at stake. This book provides a framework that identifies the different kinds of normative considerations that are in play and provides the basis for understanding why people disagree about religious schools. It uses a method that involves moving from the relevant normative considerations--especially the childspotential to acquire personal autonomy and to develop a capacity and disposition to treat others as equals--to specific policy proposals for governing religious schools in England today, taking intoaccount the legal and political constraints on policy options and the likely unintended consequences of reforms. A unique feature of the book is that its three authors have somewhat different perspectives on the implications of the normative framework they each endorse, which they draw out in separate chapters. Despite reaching different conclusions on some philosophical issues concerning religious schools, the framework and method they share enables them to converge on aregulatory framework that forbids directive teaching aimed at imparting religious beliefs in publicy-funded religious schools, and that makes the charitable status of private religious schoolsconditional on avoiding this kind of teaching.
