Sectarian Schoolbooks: A Series of Letters (1889)

Sectarian Schoolbooks: A Series Of Letters is a book originally published in 1889 by Robert J. Johnson. The book is a collection of letters that discuss the issue of sectarianism in school textbooks. Johnson, a former teacher and superintendent of schools, argues against the use of textbooks that promote a particular religious doctrine or belief system in public schools. He believes that such books violate the separation of church and state and can lead to discrimination against students of different faiths. The letters in the book were originally written to various newspapers and publications and were compiled into a single volume for wider dissemination. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on the ongoing debate over the role of religion in public education.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
