"America's public schools and religion: Some people think the two don't and shouldn't mix. Others say it's banning all talk of religion from our schools that is responsible for many of the problems young people face, from drug abuse to teenage pregnancy."
--Narrator, The Constitution and Religion in the Classroom: A Debate
"Normally you'd have to go to the Supreme Court to see these two attorneys in action; but in this video, these same experts discuss--in terms that high-school students can access--how the religious freedom clauses of the First Amendment apply in the classroom. It's a rare opportunity."
--Ambassador Robert A. Seiple, Retired President, First Freedom Center &
Former U.S. Ambassador-At-Large for International Religious Freedom
