Is it legally permissible for public school curricula to include academic instruction on world religions such as Christianity, Judaism and Islam? Are high school students legally entitled to a religious accommodation that allows them to leave campus to participate in prayer? When and how should public school districts accommodate students? dietary restrictions tied to faith practices? What other religious accommodation requests may Muslim, Jewish, Sikh and other public school students make, and how should school authorities respond? Religion in schools has long been a flashpoint in law and policy. This teleconference features a spectrum of legal experts who will speak to these issues and other contemporary legal developments where school law and religious freedom meet. 

Speakers will include:

- Engy Abdelkader, Co-Chair, Religious Freedom Committee, ABA Section of Civil Rights and Social Justice; Georgetown University, Adjunct Professor and Assistant Director of The Bridge Initiative 
- Richard Foltin, Co-Chair, Religious Freedom Committee, ABA Section of Civil Rights and Social Justice; Director of National and Legislative Affairs, AJC (American Jewish Committee)
