A new ultra-conservative committee formed to stop the efforts of radical groups to "foist a foreign concept into the school system," appeared this week to be further complicating the much-publicized Pasadena. California progressive education dispute.
The controversy, which ha touched issues ranging from a "satisfactory-unsatisfactory" grading system to the use of sex education films, started in November, 1951, when Dr. Willard Goslin was removed from the superintendency of schools because of his progressive views.
