America Still Has Room for Lots of Critics
By CHESTER I. HOWELL.
Now that the unlamented Scopes
case is momentarily behind us. we
may well turn our attention to an-
other form of compulsory orthodoxy
which is more dangerous. because
more plausible.
That is the attempt of the 200 per
cent patriots to prevent any critical
analysis of the problems of Amer-
ican government.
Just. as the Fundsmentailets pre-
tend that they are trying to prohibit
"teaching that. the Bible is a lie." so
the super-patriots pretend that they
are trying to stop "Communist at~
tacks on the Constitution.”
Of course no teacher in his right
mind was eter guilty of either of
these absurdities. But every intelli-
gent modern teacher does hold
views which the ignorant are likely
so to interpret.
So there are proposed lnquisltlons
to forbid instructors in high schools
from teaching what they learned in
college.
Thus General Fries. in a speech
appropriately delivered to the Old-
est. Inhabitants' Association. said.
”We have a right. to demand of the
teachers hired by our money that
they shall not teach our children
that the government for which our
patriots fought and died is a. foul
thing."
0f courselwif there were any
such teachers outside the lunatic
asylum. But the teachers at whom
General Fries was hitting are no
more doing that than Scopes was
teaching that "the Bible is a. lie."
What they are doing is to prepare
the new generation for its task of
making American government bet-
ter. And that is exactly what the
Oldest lnhobitsnts' Association must
not. be empowered to obstruct.
if the Oldest Inhabitants wish to
cherish the amiable delusion that
the world was finished and perfect
when they got through with it. that
is the privilege of senility. It is
the right of youth to know better.
