It has long been a legal battleground as well\, particularly where religious issues arise. From the famous 1940 M inersville case in the USA\, for example\, to the current Quebec case\, Lo yola v. Courchesne\, the courts have been asked to adjudicate the boundari es between family\, religion\, and the state. The Universal Declartion of Human Rights (art. 26)\, the Toledo Guiding Principles on Teaching about R eligions and Beliefs\, and various international covenants seek to provide guidance in negotiating these boundaries. The purpose of this symposium will be to explore the question of religious freedom in both public and pr ivate education.
