Abstract Details

2013, Bachelor of Arts, Ohio University, Political Science.
This project looks at the complicated subject of separation of church and state in the realm of public education. This will be examined in the context of a unique region of the United States known as Appalachia, a region characterized by its simultaneous rejection and acceptance of modern values. This research asks how citizens in this area view the separation of church and state, using public education as the research medium. This will be done through a multiple methodology approach combining quantitative and qualitative data in order to gauge attitudes most accurately. This research is a necessary addition to Appalachian studies as the focus has been either been upon the practice of the individuals living there or the policy of legislators and legal decision. This study asks how residents view their First Amendment rights in a micro-context of education.
