Speaker: Jonathan Zimmerman
Americans have long debated how public schools should address religion and faith. Now we’re arguing about our conceptions of America, which have become quasi-religious beliefs in their own right.

Jonathan Zimmerman, professor of history of education at the University of Pennsylvania, former Peace Corps volunteer and high-school teacher, is the author of nine books, including "Free Speech and Why You Should Give a Damn and Whose America? Culture Wars in the Public Schools."
