Public Parochial Shared Time Experiment Begun
CHICAGO AP The Chicago area starts three shared time programs in public and overcrowded parochial schools this fall with a fourth awaiting tentative approval. Parochial students would study religion in church schools and math and languages in public schools. Protests by Protestant and Jewish groups have flared, with a court dismissing a property suit challenging one program. Leaders call it an experiment and urge a cautious approach while critics remain firm.
