Rad-Baiting Comes to Brookline
Shapiro, Bruce | May 21, 1990 issue

add to cart   close window

Brookline is being systematically communized through its educational institutions. Over the past few months, in a conflict whose central issues are echoed in school systems throughout the country, many of the town's high school social studies teachers have been denounced in public meetings and in the local press as "ideological leftists" who are "anti-Western" have "subjected students to political propaganda on foreign and domestic issues." Soon Brookline High's critics zeroed in on specific elective course offerings in social studies which, they charged, had "a radical left perspective."
