The Language Police: How Pressure Groups Restrict What Students Learn
Random House Inc. 04/01/2003. 255 pgs. Diane Ravitch's book is an angry look at the censorship that right-wing (and also politically correct left-wing) groups are able to exercise on educational publishers, who hire "bias and sensitivity" experts to ensure that not one word will be offensive to anyone. Accordingly, books showing dinosaurs, women cooking, owls, candy, and angry people are tabu. In one of many insights into the situation, she points out that conservative groups try to make the world represented in textbooks into an idealized version of the past, while more left-leaning groups try to impose an idealized Utopian future on the material. Ravitch indicts publishers for pandering to the marketplace (represented by fanatical pressure groups) at the expense of children's learning and the widening of their experience.

Battleground: One Mother's Crusade, the Religious Right, and the Struggle for Control of Our Classrooms
Simon & Schuster. 09/01/1993. In Church Hill, Tennessee, homemaker Vicki Frost detected the influence of Satan in her children's schoolbooks. Her complaints to the school board about such themes as evolution, feminism and telepathy got her nowhere. She tried to remove her second-grade daughter from class and as a result, she was arrested. Frost and some other parents then filed suit in federal court. What began as a ragtag protest escalated into a ferocious proxy war between two national organizations: Concerned Women for America, a right-wing religious group dedicated to "protecting the rights of the family," and People for the American Way, a group founded by Norman Lear to combat the religious right. The bitterly fought "Scopes II" trial became front-page news across the country. Originally published at $24.00 You save 94% off the cover price!
