| Summary: | Legal historians are notoriously susceptible to the viruses of law office history and doctrinal Whiggism, interpreting constitutional history through the lenses of ideological commitment or “progressive” development. Nowhere are these microbes more threatening than in the study of church-state jurisprudence. Steven K. Green largely evades these infections in this fine work on nineteenth-century conflicts over religion in the public schools, albeit with occasional sniffles along the way., Taking off from the Supreme Court's post–World War II school decisions, Green recounts the political and legal struggles over religious exercises in the public schools and public funding of religious schools. |
