University Scholars Lindsey Bressler and Taylor Straatman recently attended an Interfaith Leadership Forum in New York City. Both Bressler and Straatman have been participating in a Scholars Independent Research Fellowship this summer to examine how public elementary school classrooms in Missouri and New York address the topic of religion. By hearing from multiple perspectives, teachers, parents, religious leaders and interfaith leaders, they hope to provide an assessment of some of the challenges that are experienced.
