After reading the Johnson chapter on Legal Perspectives on Education, choose one of the three items I’ve provided to focus on for this week.
If you choose item #1 - The Legal Issues in Education PowerPoint - then you’ll look through the slides and see if you want to edit or add to them.
If you choose item #2 - The Religion In Public Schools website - then you’ll flip through the site and look for something particularly interesting on this topic and post about that. What surprised you? What helped you the most? What was something that clarified religion in public schools for you?
If you choose item #3 - The Mendez v. Westminster curriculum - you’ll read the lesson plan and comment on it. Why is it that most of us have never heard of this important case? How would your students respond to this information?
