1952- Wliiam Jenner on the Constitution
Via Iver
"I
want to make one thing clear. This war against our constitution is not
being fought way off in Madagascar or in Mandalay. It is being fought
here—in our schools, our colleges, our churches,
our women’s clubs. It is being fought with our money, channeled through
the State Department. It is being fought twenty-four hours a day—while
we remain asleep. How many of you Senators know what the UN is doing to
change the teaching of the children in your
own home town? The UN is at work there, every day and night, changing
the teachers, changing the teaching materials, changing the very words
and tones—changing all the essential ideas which we imagine our schools
are teaching to our young folks.
How in the
name of Heaven are we to sit here, approve these programs, appropriate
our own people’s money—for such outrageous “orientation” of our own
children, and of the men and women who teach our children, in this
Nation’s schools?"
-- William Jenner
(1908-1985) U.S. Senator (IN-R)
