AlterNet: The Christian Right Wants to ‘Partner’ with Public Schools – Here’s Why That’s Such a Problem
Katherine Stewart: One reason why it is important to acknowledge the privilege of evangelicals in their attacks on public schools is because they are, as a matter of fact, the only religious group that can get away with it on any type of scale. This has been tested on the ground. When Islamic groups attempt to distribute Korans in public schools on the same terms as Christian groups distributing Bibles, or when Humanists or Satanists attempt to run after-school clubs on the same terms as Good News Clubs, or members of the Kabbalah Center try to offer “character education” programs in public schools as conservative Christians do, they are invariably blocked.
