Publisher's Synopsis
""Shall Our Common School Be Destroyed?"" is a book written by Joseph Parrish Thompson in 1870. The book is an argument against the misuse of school funds for sectarian purposes. Thompson argues that public schools should be free from any religious influence, and that diverting funds to religious schools would be detrimental to the common school system. He believes that the common school system is essential for the growth and development of a democratic society, and that it should remain neutral in matters of religion. Thompson's argument is based on the principle of separation of church and state, which he believes is essential for the preservation of individual freedom and the protection of minority rights. The book is a powerful defense of the common school system and a call to action against those who would seek to undermine it. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of education and the role of religion in public life.Delivered In The Broadway Tabernacle Church, February 6th, And Repeated By Request, February 20, 1870.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
