From "Refuge" to "Polis": Shifting the Rationale for Religiosity in Schools
Dippo, Don
Educational Policy, v24 n1 p216-220 2010
This article responds to Bruce Collet's article "From Refuge to Polis: Shifting the Rationale for Religiosity in Schools." In this rejoinder my intention is to shift the discussion from school-as-refuge to school-as-polis and to ask whether the integration interests of recent immigrants and refugees might not be better served by a more inclusive approach to religiosity in schools that is less about collective exception and more about social transformation.
