Heinrich shares expertise in New York Times article

Professor of Education Jill Heinrich was quoted in a New York Times article published on Oct. 12, 2023.

Heinrich, who researches the separation of church and state in American public education, told the New York Times that religion mostly has no place in a public school unless it’s being studied in a secular way.

“You can talk about religious events in history class,” Heinrich said, adding that “there can be absolutely no advocacy.”

The article was republished by other media outlets, including The Seattle Times.

Heinrich has taught at Cornell College since 2003.
