Program 8: Religion in the Schools
John Cogley leads a Center staff discussion of the Supreme Court decision on prayers in public schools. Although Mr. Cogley agrees with the narrow findings of the majority decision, he feels the Court might have been wiser not to accept the case because it may provoke more problems than the decision solves. July 1962. [CSDI program number 8; UCSB tape numbers A7489/R7, A7490/R7]

The Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions (CSDI) was founded by Robert Maynard Hutchins and was based in Santa Barbara, California, from 1959 to 1987. During that time it brought together many of the most capable and distinguished minds of the times to discuss vital issues facing American society of the day. Thanks to donors Neal Linson, Ceil Pulitzer, and Stanley Sheinbaum, a project has begun to digitize and make accessible on the web some of the most important conference proceedings, talks, and dialogues recorded by CSDI.
