Culture wars in the classroom
Apr. 4th, 2024 06:15 amNPR’s Throughline had an excellent episode on The Great Textbook War, that covers US school culture wars going back to WWI. It mentioned, Harold Rugg, B Forbes, American Legion and “unamerican” book burnings. It reminded me of my high school US history teacher, Chomsky and Zinn’s People’s History of the United States.
