Fundamentalists, the Schools, and Cultural Politics.

Berman, Edward H.

Educational Foundations, v11 n4 p75-86 Fall 1997

Discusses how various Christian fundamentalist groups have succeeded in imposing their ideology on public schools. Such groups have been disrupting school practice since the 1980s, with school curriculum and reading material content usually at the center of disputes. Recommends that local school districts take such groups seriously to keep them from gaining further success. (SM)
