99. Is this sort of thing suppressing academic freedom?
Certainly not. People who demand freedom to teach Communism are demanding the right to teach murder, robbery, revolution, treachery, and disaster. They cannot justify any such demands on any grounds of moral law, morals, common sense, or reason.
100. What can I do?
FIRST, know the facts.
SECOND, work in your own community to get rid of Communists and Communist influences, whether in the school system or anywhere else.
THIRD, be prepared to face accusations of "witch-hunting," "Red-baiting," "textbook burning," and "strangling academic freedom." These are standard smears in the Communist propaganda routine.
ABOVE ALL, remember that whatever you do you must always keep the Constitution of the United States in one had and common sense in the other. The object here is NOT to destroy academic freedom. It is to STOP COMMUNISM before it destroys us. The Communists CAN be stopped under our system of laws and MUST be.
