Books by Joan DelFattore

Joan DelFattore traces the evolution of school-prayer battles in the US from the early 1800s, when children could be beaten for refusing to read the King James Bible, to current disputes over having prayers before school football games.

Offers a behind-the-scenes view of the ways in which special-interest groups influence the content of textbooks used in public and private schools throughout America. This book describes six cases resulting from attempts to suppress information on evolution, gun control and pacifism.
