Klappentext zu „Corporal Punishment, Religion, and United States Public Schools “
This book examines corporal punishment in United States public schools. The practice-which is still legal in nineteen states-affects approximately a quarter million children each year. Justification for the use of physical punishment is often based on religious texts. Rather than simply disregarding the importance of religious commitment, this volume presents an alternative faith-based response. The book suggests the "hermeneutical triad," of sacred text, tradition, and reason as an acceptable approach for those seeking to be faithful to religious text and tradition.Inhaltsverzeichnis zu „Corporal Punishment, Religion, and United States Public Schools “

Pressezitat
"Jane Hall Fitz-Gibbon offers us a welcome addition to broaden and further nuance our understanding of education in American schools. ... Taken together and argued with philosophical delicacy, Fitz-Gibbon delivers a damning argument for the abolition of corporal punishment in United States' public schools." (Wendy C. Hamblet, metapsychology online reviews, metapsychology.mentalhelp.net, Vol. 21 (32), August, 2017) Kommentar zu "Corporal Punishment, Religion, and United States Public Schools"
