The Perry A. Zirkel Law and Education Conference
Religion, Parents, and Public Education at the Crossroads
The role of religion in U.S. public education has long sparked debate, from school prayer to curriculum content. This conference examined a pivotal new development: the Supreme Court’s decision in Mahmoud v. Taylor, which affirms parents’ right to opt their children out of instruction that conflicts with their religious beliefs. Bringing together scholars, policymakers, and educators, the event explored how this ruling reshapes legal standards, parental rights, and school governance. Panelists discussed the practical and constitutional challenges ahead, focusing on how schools can navigate opt-out policies while maintaining cohesive curricula in an evolving educational landscape.
Miguel Cardona, Former U.S. Secretary of Education, delivered the keynote address.
