Listen "The Great Textbook War"
Episode Synopsis
In 1974, a fierce controversy erupted over some newly adopted school textbooks in Kanawha County, West Virginia. School buildings were hit by dynamite and Molotov cocktails, buses were riddled with bullets, journalists were beaten and surrounding coal mines were shut down by protesting miners. Textbook supporters
thought they would introduce students to new ideas about literature and multi-culturalism. Opponents felt
the books undermined traditional American values.
