Unks, Gerald – High School Journal, 1980
The issue in West Virginia's censorship controversy is clear. Parents feared democratic freedom of choice and wanted their children taught to be idealogical carbon copies of themselves. But the parents themselves may not be to blame. They too are products of authoritarian, no-think schools in which orthodoxy went unchallenged. (Author/SJL)
