fundamentalist schools and freedom of speech  

Definition

  • Even though Christian fundamentalist schools educate less than 2% of the K–12 students in the United States, their educational philosophies and practices raise basic issues concerning their role in U.S. life and in the lives of the students they educate. Several fundamentalist beliefs reject key tenets associated with liberal democratic citizenship, including toleration for differing points of view concerning what constitutes a well-functioning democracy.
