| Abstract: | This book enhances awareness of the legal issues surrounding public funding of faith-based schools in representative nations around the world. In this edited volume, contributors explore whether tax monies should support religious institutions in advancing their beliefs, and if such support inadvertently favors certain religions over others. Chapters cover issues ranging from allowing vouchers, tuition tax programs, and school choice programs to providing transportation to and from school, delivering special education services on-site in faith-based schools, and paying for textbooks and other instructional materials for secular and religious subjects. Drawing on the latest legal research, this interdisciplinary volume features work from an international group of leading academics in law, education, and religion. The contributors address similar issues to allow for comparative analyses, whilst also addressing issues unique to their nations and perspectives. This comprehensive resource will benefit researchers and scholars, as well as students, practitioners, policymakers, and libraries. |
