DOI: 10.1080/15507394.2018.15416921550-7394http://hdl.handle.net/10230/42556This article explores the question of whether it is morally permissible for the liberal state to require schools to teach religions “neutrally” to children. I examine this question through the normative analysis of Canadian Supreme Court case Loyola High School v. Quebec. I argue that it is in principle morally impermissible for the liberal state to oblige all schools to adopt a neutral approach to teaching children about religious diversity. I propose a normative framework for evaluating the legitimacy of such an imposition and identify a strategy in support of accommodating schools like Loyola that does not appeal to the existence of a strong parental right to control their children’s education.application/pdfeng© This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in Religion & Education on 2018, available online: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/15507394.2018.1541692.info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://dx.doi.org/10.1080/15507394.2018.1541692Political liberalismLiberal neutralityChildreninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
