At the same time his balance and meticulous fairness to all sides is one of the most impressive things about this book. Few people can treat religiously motivated people as rational, or religion as as relevant a topic as any other free speech.

All in all it is as griping as any mystery novel yet it portrays an issue of political correctness versus individual liberty which is both a local and a national matter even more important than the future of our entire educational tradition.

Brilliant, thoughtful, readable, and provocative

A brilliant look at some of the more intractable intersections between the legal and the moral, here in the context of schools and the education of our kids. Bates wrestles with the issues, to be sure, but without preaching -- he leaves it to us, the parents, to draw our own lessons. Read this if you care about your child.



The compelling story of a pro-religious right group of parents--led by Tennessean Vicki Frost--who are battling the Government over certain secular themes taught in schools. "Illuminates some of the most difficult dilemmas of democracy."--Albert Shanker, President, American Federation of Teachers. Photographs.
