The Bible, the Rod, and Religion, in Common Schools. the Ark of God On a New Cart: A Sermon: Rev. M. Hale Smith. a Review Of the Sermon, by Wm. B. Fow

By Horace Mann and Matthew Hale Smith

First published in 1844, this controversial book remains a powerful indictment of the role of religion in public education. Mann and Smith argue that the mixing of religion and education is not only unconstitutional but also harmful to the development of young minds. Their arguments still resonate today in debates about the proper role of religion in public life.
