Kyle Steinberg, Anne Nicol Gaylor Legal Fellow at the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF), will speak to students at the University of Minnesota Law School on Monday, February 2, as part of a lunchtime event hosted by the school’s newly formed Secular Law Society.
Steinberg will discuss the mission and work of the Freedom From Religion Foundation, the religion clauses of the U.S. Constitution, and current legal challenges surrounding the push for religious charter schools. The talk will explore how church–state separation issues are playing out in courts and legislatures, with a focus on the implications for public education and constitutional law.
The event will take place from 12:15 p.m. to 1:15 p.m. at the University of Minnesota Law School. This event is open to any students of the University, as well as members of the Secular Law Society. No RSVP registration is required.
FFRF regularly engages with student groups and academic institutions to promote understanding of the constitutional principle of separation between church and state and to encourage civic engagement on related legal issues.
