The Case of the United States.” Zeitschrift für Pädagogik 67, no. 1 (2021): Looking towards the future, moreover, in the aftermath of the Trump presidency, as an ever-diverse, but divided United States contends with the resilience of an assertive Christian nationalism, enduring tensions over immigration and Islam, and a conservative-majority Supreme Court, analyzing debates about education and religion also serve to illuminate the deeper ideological and identity rifts pervading American society. In a country where religious education did previously not exist in public schools, and where faith in general had been mostly left out of the classroom, the widespread implementation of teaching about religion in the past thirty years has been a significant and intriguing development with respect to the relationship between the state and religion. The project examines one of the most recent changes regarding the place and role of religion in American public schools: the introduction, since the 1980s, of strictly academic, non-devotional, and non-sectarian courses about religion, mainly in history and geography curricula. Often considered an “exceptionally religious” country, but whose Constitution enforces a separation between religion and the state, the United States has regularly been confronted with controversies related to the status of faith in the classroom. But it also addresses their limitations, as these groups face challenges and resistance, notably from conservative Christians.My project focuses on the sphere of public education in order to explore how the diversification and politicization of religious identities have impacted and transformed the politics of secularism in the United States over the past three decades. The presentation thus explains how textbooks have become central to the identity politics of religious minorities and investigates their mobilization strategies. Accordingly, textbooks provide minority faiths with a unique medium to accustom generations of citizens with their beliefs, but also to display an attractive public image of their religion, by countering stereotypes and emphasizing the compatibility of their values with those of American society, for instance. As they attempt to gain recognition and to assert themselves within the American "competitive multiculturalism”, these groups have increasingly tried to control and influence the way their beliefs and traditions are represented in history and geography courses. This presentation examines how religious minorities in the United States - Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs - have made the integration of chapters dedicated to their faith into school textbooks a crucial part of their identity strategies in recent years.
