Earlier this year, the federal courts upheld a law that forbids worship services in New York City public schools. Dromm, himself a former public school teacher for 25 years, opposed a resolution in the NYC Council which called upon the government to directly aid religious worship services by providing "maximum access" to public schools.
He believes having state-established worship spaces is unconstitutional and utterly anathema to the principles on which this country was founded.
Dromm has maintained that having the NYC Department of Education serve as the landlord for houses of worship entangles our government in issues best left to believers not to bureaucrats.
Author Katherine Stewart will also be on hand to discuss her book The Good News Club, a chilling expose of the well-funded, highly coordinated effort by Christian Nationalists to use public schools to advance a fundamentalist agenda.
