Preferred term
religious holidays in u.s. schools
Definition
- The institutionalization of religious holidays in U.S. public schools is part of the informal school curriculum that attempts to educate students toward a particular orientation of national citizenship. According to Valerie Pang, the conscious or the unconscious privileging of certain knowledge within school curriculum suggests the kinds of intellectual, cultural, and political decisions schools are making over cultural and religious discourses.
