Course Description
An in-depth study into educational law and how social and cultural changes are directing how our courts act and react. A new global mindset present in our high courts has and will continue to re-direct how our courts view many judicial rulings and from those considerations, a new set of legal precedents will emerge impacting how our educational systems are viewed by those courts.
For information regarding the prerequisites for this course, please refer to the Academic Course Catalog.
Rationale
Studying the laws governing education and religious conflicts of the Western world helps to understand the demands, restrictions, and provisions for what is called the “separation of church and state.” It would benefit greatly to devote much time to this study because much of today’s growing societal unrest with education can, and logically so, be connected to the religious unrest throughout the nation and world.
It is imperative that school and institutional leaders have a firm grasp on past case precedents and how those decisions could be redirected because of social and cultural changes the courts have determined should be considered. Additionally, courts are using more European case precedents in determining how American laws should be applied and/or adjusted. The “global mindset” has and will continue to impact the judicial system and how new cases will be reviewed and decisions made.
