2007 CHOICE Outstanding Academic TitleWeaving together history, philosophy, and curriculum, Grappling with the Good offers a vision of public education in which students learn to engage respectfully with the diversity of beliefs about how to live together in society. Robert Kunzman argues that we can and should help students learn how to talk about religion and morality, and bring together our differing visions of life. He describes how such an approach might work in the K–12 setting, explores central philosophical principles, and shares his ongoing experiences and insights in helping students to "grapple with the good."

Die Arbeit analysiert die seit den 2000er Jahren ergangenen wesentlichen verfassungs- und verwaltungsgerichtlichen Entscheidungen zu Fragen der Religionsausübung im Bereich der öffentlichen Schule und ordnet diese in den jeweils relevanten gesellschaftlichen und wissenschaftlichen Kontext ein. Vor dem Hintergrund der in Deutschland herrschenden Diskurse zur religiösen Pluralisierung und zu Fragen der Integration werden dabei Rechtsprechungsentwicklungen zu den Themen Kopftuch von Lehrerinnen, Gebet in der Schule, Homeschooling und verpflichtende Teilnahme am Schwimmunterricht sowie weiteren Schulveranstaltungen aufgezeigt und kritisch kommentiert. Die Arbeit kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass die Auslegung und Anwendung des Grundrechts der Religionsfreiheit in der öffentlichen Schule einen Beitrag zur Integration religiöser Vielfalt leisten kann, wenn diese auf Basis einer konsequenten Fortsetzung der religionsfreundlichen Linie des Bundesverfassungsgerichts in integrationssensibler Weise erfolgt.»The Integration of Religious Diversity in State Schools. Making the Case for an Integration-Sensitive Interpretation and Application of the Fundamental Right to Religious Freedom«: The study analyses important constitutional and administrative court decisions on aspects of religious practice in state schools and places them in the relevant context. Against the background of the prevailing discourses in Germany on religious pluralisation and integration, developments on the topics of teachers' headscarves, prayer in school, homeschooling and compulsory participation in school events are highlighted and critically commented on.
