Just so people can you're, not going! Listen to Spanish! It's when you actually did you call but a bilingual podcast for both A year and a half before it actually now is a bilingual podcast. Bulgaria have you ever heard of grit tied it everything about you just where to me was awful. color County is West Central West Virginia Appalachia area, Three thousand people live, there are nineteen, seventy four failing, I'm gonna be pissed I may give a little when I got a little diatribe,

No, not a diatribe ominous. A warning with the n word is going to be used and then some people will some people will use it in this episode. You're going to use it well, some people say it and I. take the courts, you want to say and worse you'd rather say, I'm not gonna sandwich. I mean the music is we're all adults and people actually said it, and I don't believe in watering down the homelessness of the pass the city of Charleston is in the county as well as especially nineteen. Seventy four press running rural area scenario, streams, area, K, city with the urban centre, which is more diversified, It manufacturing jobs, estate, state capital, is there and this wealthy suburbs around two thirds of the county, don't pretty well financially just to the east. what they call the hollers West Virginia, the They can be considered a class hillbilly r k, size

guys, plan Jugs David. you know. I do not understand the damage that the jug Clare and the Wash board striker has. Under the hillbilly redneck community, so much they ever get out of the shadow of the jug blower Dave, no even they. People rolling jugs negotiating as by Mason I know a lot of you too. I want something we're I know the no allotted chamber wamba know what figures socialists a lot, and now we exercise as a group Two. I get up again. No, that was really like it. I felt there was there

so a third of the county is obviously very poor. Smiles and isolated, valleys, winding road, dozens and dozens of churches mostly call minors K. They live for decades through poverty, black one disease and pretty much any hardship. America could throw their way. they were white white as white can be super labour. With the lightest of the whites mighty whites life was boom and bust cycles in the east, controlled by a few large coal companies they lived in company housing both had to chop a company stores. They got hurt and company minds, they would be arrested by company cops. By company judges to company town amount. We talk about that before. That, basically just means like all on site stores and everything or just it's made, and I think it might be right right. Never gonna dad it's just how ran spreads.

many of the young at this point we're flying to cities like Pittsburgh in Cleveland when their old enough, though stayed were paid starvation, wages, underemployed and under educate The area really fell behind much of America in the infrastructure, Kay the air control by the money and urban areas around Charleston people who had moved there to exploit labour. Swing their weight around and run things share. City be ready, folk right. there is an eastern, come county came to resent the sure those very applicable Dave It really is so the commanders and hillbillies they believe in God they also live in guinea. justice regains and strikes. There are big big union people in eighteen, seventy four years. The crisis so caused all over better at that time that deep,

The battle is rich super into the church born again business as you like to call it a baby fabs. a bit television Megan his way out there they serve to see the rest of the country. Now rather is telling, and seventy four Well yeah, I mean tv still. I talked yeah yeah why it took a long time It took a long time for a lot of stuff to get out there. That's crazy. Civil right. You do what you do. Look back nicer exactly. Alright, let's add a jug as like I'm going to go jug in back for a minute. Is that when he said it,

You know they saw the civil rights over this John DOE Morgana one. If it comes from it is women's Lib Anna, we're hippies gay rights, drugs, crime, all all american and moral decline, rightly seen it. That's. What they're saying? Ok now A woman embarrassment world like why do you imagine where are your little had prepared for a man tat? I wish I could just go back to me a junkie. for I knew that women could vote. So young, a young lady named Alice Moore, was born and raised in the small town of ACT in Tennessee she was the daughter of a tv, a dispatcher, a tv eight was the Tennessee Valley, authority, I thought his don't n y p D, the t v, a pal What is therefore buddy? You know what the tv is moving.

what yesterday Alice, was raised in the church of Christ. when she was seventeen, she got married Darrell more, who was a local young minister tests are not in a minute, We share a beside that point. You just just how two percent annoying I just, I just think it at my head like what work over the young minister. What is it so weird to be like I don't need anything else. for sure it was just someday. I want to be a rich minister, yeah right, yeah. Okay, are you taken advantage of people, so they go now I get an armed yeah. So I have kids, I was not going to college, but she read read a lot a lot in. Not a big fan of that. You know those not at all. When she should progress. Now I believe man acted upon gods, faith in Sudan.

It set down by the almighty checked it out of hand anything those outside of this belief, the you really adore. Well, I mean I just you know it's just I've never been able to understand this take this done. Every of fibre of me fields. the exact opposite. When you are like very early like well, if it wasn't in the Bible, I'm like every evens, but I was like eight. I was like this. really crazy. so Allison Sendero moved Charleston in early seventies it for kids. At this point nice,

now stop very political up until nineteen sixty nine camera cannot county Board of Education approved a sex education I can see, no was not ok, there's not, ok do what you do and never figured out, keep having children the gutter. kids learned about hang and things and in any parts right, yeah. Isn't it so she swung around you're all I've completely baffled by your genitals, yeah yeah. That's what I've been doing isn't that what the Lord of Planet I have no idea what's happening boy Oh dear. Its chamber, He has really have resumed its merit way. We're not supposed to be doing is were what people don't understand. It all right,

well, I enjoyed it. The referee, the bits of thrown flags a bit yeah welcome to quarantine, bitch. Oh God come into my camera little bit, so you can see more of me. I wouldn't mind seeing a little bit more of a look very bright. Well, your mother, your top Louisiana completed. Oh hello me help me in shorts dirty downward So I was always it concerned about what they're teaching their kids with the sex ed stuff, as are other other parents or the church, going parents. They want sex like out of the schools. Alice is very charming. She's very well spoken, so she became the spokes woman for a group of well off parents. Great great she called Sex Education programme quote a humanistic.

atheistic attack on God. Some would call this group of people who have nothing better to do well, God, as you know, is very against sex. That's why he gave us exports what a weird devil yet I mean he gave us hungry, Andrea, posing a pistol. Replied. That's right! That's the deal. The change is just a very strange individual, those God very strange, Disney, guess girl. and this was when you get the Sunday, he s worth of gods. They here is like now and you dont, like each other, just let it get wet and yours get big it sent here. Just stand there. Her look at where you get back do not touch The Charleston Daily Mail said the school board was indifferent to parents. We will complain and they just ignore it.

at the board, symbolic, a prisoner to school administrators than being in charge bright so concerned. France push out to run for the County Board of Education and she did and she crushed her upon it and very soon after sex ed, was removed further from the catalogue county schools say: let's do it at work in a democracy, yes, finally, so now Alice was a local voice for the right and for parents who are conservative and she quickly he had a following in the county and in the Charleston area. Guy. There was a recent state mandate that quote school books should portray the contributions of minorities to american culture like cat shit, that this is the the next target But about to remove that from an unwise

speech a little bit vein. I think you're wasting valuable pages with accomplishments that wax it could have been making. What's this because the federal government had recently offered up money for districts that would embrace multiculturalism. All so, but are now moving out of it. it's all. Books have until now been about white people for white people. After eight white be multi, a great white men were check right. Honestly want to see the track record up until then. Who could argue? Oh, my god, What's happening right now, it's all white men being amazing game. One thing they have done wrong, get can't they Can I give one textbook publisher? but there was an almost an absence of any african american literature. On April, Eleventh nineteen, seventy four, the board was presented with three hundred and twenty five books to approve, for

ok. Teachers said that they thought it would be a typical meeting, her son duplex it I'm gonna, be The banks have been carefully selected over a year long process with us. In committee and to subsidize selection committees are made up of teachers carrying our teachers. figuring out. What books would be great from a year very because they get to teach something new right. Authors of saving. Your question have been consulted. The one book they should be consulting about their decision, Well, that's a very good question grab, aiming at without being a good book. You so much. A cookbook, the Holy Bible or the Bebo is well they're they're, going to get to the how many book table how many books over the year.

great three hundred twenty five large over three hundred and twenty five bibles. Ok, then it again and again others new books included James Baldwin and George Orwell but our so objected that subject do what was known as a dialect ology. This was a teaching approach to encourage students to feel more comfortable expressing themselves by using their natural dialect. So everyone talks a little bit differently. All of our cultures have a little bit of a different thing that they say a little bit different where they say words. Shire said they were like. Let's, let's make kids more, comparable learning by using some of that language. Ok, Alice quote: there is a correct way to speak

like God, there may be some slight variations, but damn is never correct. Dat is never correct for that. If we are talking about this as dialect ology, I want approve these books There is at the time this is an incredibly rare moment for apparent to question the expertise of teachers can hide what Yes, you mean there was a time when they are respected and paid now that, yes, this is literally This is the reason that it had Israel danger, should teach at school there s dream teachers usages haven't so much fucking there. You know they really appreciate it were as this day. Why? But we're go straight to chapter eighteen. The chapters called your parents are fucking idiots have finally.

Another board member asked her why they shouldn't leave it up to the professionals. That's why they were paying them? He said quote I mean what am I I'm an accountant man and after some discussion the board accepted the books, but because of Alice, but they didn't buy the books and they put it off until they can be looked over more so they're gonna buy up they're gonna re scrutinise now they're gonna Alice scrutinise the books. You haven't spatially, what's happening by the way you know job. We just talk yourself into reading three hundred and twenty five books stupid you don't have interpreted the hundreds whereby both dollar, as so right when the meaning ended. Alice's husband walked up to or handed her a book and said quote. I want you to look at what you ve just adopted

told they Malcolm X is autobiography awhile, that's for her she's like a pig I for keeps mauling into chairs more chair, the wind water. the traffic to he pointed to a quote. All praise is due to a law that I moved to pass him. When I do. If I hadn't problem, it'll be a brainwashed black Christian, Alice ways: heart just jumps out of her chest and smashed against the wall can open. She then told the superintendent. She wanted every single book sent to her house point and let it work rate. I just man, if you think about it.

Getting like Malcolm X, literature in Tommy's, public school bribing, just right off the bat, the difference. It makes as far as just cultural difference the way the people feel. I may mention here Vibrates I read is autobiography. When I was in high school there everybody should yet he is the shit I mean. Alice then went over the books and that she was appalled. It was our worst nightmare. It was every nightmare she could at the mass shirt she found, quotes from monsters like Alan Ginsburg, Sigmund Freud. Eldridge, Cleaver, no virtue and George. oh. there was swearing. There is sex talk now, anti american black Panther quotes. You know what I would love to

just be a fly on the wall would be too? and I'm not a monument to the perverted way. It would perhaps be very clinical way to watch her and her husband have sex and watch how that goes down and what the lead up is like and what the rules are and the insurance of er, I'm sure. So, naturally, I think those people just get that I think they're just freaks. I bet yeah. I guess can't be much foreplay to three much pay to get in there room free yeah. I may sixteenth the board met again with the textbook selection Committee, who was requested to come and explain why they chose the books they choose. But when they tried to explain our would cut them off and challenge them, and not just about the books country but the entire idea behind this new programme, which was statement with government, showed so she's just like that.

I veto it. She argued sizing racing culture was Antichrist works. how is it possible because because in her mind, race and culture. The way it is it's about white people she's, like you, can't They re right, that's what you're doing with all the books about why people like you cannot ice race re about wine is not a race that When you call me will be the first one is the original: it's not the fires by thugs. They jaws one job. So She argued emphasising race and culture was anti christian, Anti Enlightenment, the white version they had

moratorium and depressing Lloyd, someone's worries. Aren't you don't worry about it? She didn't think a state institution had the right to teach something other than what she was teaching your children, what a crazy counts! but that's what they that still a thing goes needs more that something more than ever, but even just here and you're, just like what is the point that no would you are your kid. I want my kid event stuff. I don't know what talking a higher It considers he can watch her watch civil before the next meeting Alice was busy contacting people to rally the cause. She got wealthy mothers on What was there was a racially diverse these group of humans. That's weird dough, strongly all white white, interesting, white Ladys. Why? Ladies very powerful Europe nip? She spoke of a church groups, community organs.

since anywhere. She could. She would explain when upset her and re quotes from the books. She handed out printed up excerpts that she thought or offensive. As is also where the books would expose white kids to black people, talk they would learn to quote speak in ghetto dialect. New do. You know how I am Amity young white. And I ve been ruined by If I didn't speak, get out. Now I remember when I was eighteen and I finally got to listen to have operate, My god, my god I didn't have this for my brain- was developing what I would have been mother Dennis. At these meetings she would often say school should just teach her kids to read basic math a bit of a mess In world history government in English- and that's it it- she said this

she said the school right right, and then just would. I would just be like wait. Lady shut the fuck up. Would you would just shut the fuck up? Please. She said to the school was violating her rights is apparent because when it came to her kids, they were quote intent of making them more open minded than I wanted them to be. How we should say, I mean because there was like a twenty year period where we buried our rhetoric and now, back out in the open, but like this, this is like it's like a cicadas of honesty, but this is like back where, what's he saying If you're literally saying I want my child to be close, my native smaller brain and my boy, the vice president, the local Charleston N, a p said he read the books, I didn't find them offensive, the age of twenty five, was he white.

No well have, or that is always part of the issue. Isn't it did you find a home and moving like a jug? You twenty fourth term ministers, came out and said they supported the books, but two days later, twenty seven other ministers said the books were moral and indecent. We need far more ministers that day the West Virginia Human Rights Commission the book, so there's all kinds of people coming out now. That would work again down inside, but it's all also just be exec. It's also one of those things now we're now it's a thing. This is where it, The school. You just immediately go take your kid, a different school that lady like. If you got a problem, go somewhere else, but because now it's a thing now, An issue now it's gonna be able to build, says so its building she's been rattling people up, so

but don't now normal school board meeting at about twenty five people attending the meat, On June, twenty seven seven had over two thousand- oh my god,. the audience always may sir we're gonna be running out a punch soon, underestimated the package we have enough to serve sixty five. We hurried spilled, always they stood outside in the rain. They pig through windows. There are held umbrellas at the way, listened over the loudspeakers. It says this is this: is what happens when you don't have tv with? You know you're, like fuck: let's go. Yeah Alice had a petition signed by twelve thousand people in the gallery. The petition stated books should not be allowed if they lead to the questioning of quote the family unit, which comes from the marriage of a man and woman, tat kind of a sick believe in God

the american political system, the free enterprise fibre vs, like out the free enterprise economic system, the laws and linking this lady has been white for too long the laws and legal system of the nation state, the history of America as the record of what, nope was civilization ever x ray. I just like I mean it's like: where would you and I started to argue and this woman We would be like Lilli Gruber minutely, we're so overwhelmed with what to say to you that we can talk. It uses hitter the fate of the pan. I don't know what else to do it literally like you cannot, Will I get no damn it never Idea right,

it s, just some of it. It goes on and I share so the board with all these people they given to the protests and agree not to buy eight of the are upsetting books, but it's a start. One was Sigmund Freud. You're, an anal eroticism Alice was now he was disturbed anymore. It's not anal. That aim, well you sick character and may lead to major sites like or it could be up to now, Freud? Maybe he was talking about bundles. I would hope so I hope he was that's right. I am leading a lot of be do a lot of blows and serenity of love, it'll blow bluff. This was disturbed that Freud said. Boys want to have sex with their mothers and girls, one to have sex with their fathers. Alice bleed children read them. I knew that thought would never leave their mind. just how a human mind works exactly how

TAT died, remaining, are taken from any dangerous thought or it will can speak in Germany by it. And, if you hear you hear that you like well now I want to fuck my mom, like that's just how we know it, but you know what it is: it's law instead of it's, what she's doing, which is making you think I want to fuck my ma. It's like when you're Ok, I gotta sudden alarm for something you sound an alarm for it now you gotta remember to do it because he said and alarm you did the sexes. So, when you're highlighting the idea that, like I don't want them to read that part because then they'll get in their heads, that's what get in their heads I'm glad If someone just go like wait, why? Oh it isn't my head you're playing? It's like! Oh no! I was going to try to fuck me. Oh my things. Coming up, I dunno She brought up a chapter in the Eldridge Cleaver, in which book in which he discussed. The crime of raping white women, even though the chapter had been removed from the textbook okay. So what ok,

alright, but as if he was innocent, he was in his autobiography. Were they taken out of the textbook grandkids sure Allah said this did not represent black culture, Average cleaver does not represent black culture. A member of the local and a two chapters sit up and said in a very reasonable. would you totally Maybe a white woman shouldn't be discussing what does and does not represent black culture. While It points out and the point as job home as if these textbooks were questioning the american values of parents in the community. This is try in the rear of the country club their zeal lotta. People came up to talk. She grilled. The committee members should grow. The teacher. You said was okay to question values so apparent said if they had done it, The job is apparent, their kids views could.

it'd be undermined by creating an opposing view in the school blog wrong. This meeting went on for three hours, God damn it and then at the end, the books are approved by a three to two vote: okay, all of them because I believe that I think the eight or not about rapid still, So this is, this: does not appease Alison her her peeps, Brett, they began discussing creating private schools, reverend else quickly said he now had a one hundred parents who are ready to send kids to private schools that he was thinking of creating and now because this happen, Alice's movement grew and she took her fight to the local media. She bridge the class divide of the county. It wasn't just the wealthy religious culture warriors, but the men and women of the poor Eastern Eastern Coal mining, part of the country

we're being brought it. Ok, they're the local ministers took up the cause and they preached in their churches. Conservative. Of the middle class suburbs essentially marks in it yeah conservatives of the middle class suburbs and the working class whites working together against the more liberal urban peeps. The anti texture is a first textbook supporters Teachers, for some reason, thought educator should make decisions about curriculum in textbooks. Just don't get it do. They know they dont get it with the who the fuck. Are they tear that The reverend Jean Louis of Saint John Episcopal church became the public face of the protests book side. The Reverend Marvin Horn from Camels- Craig became a leader on the entire textbook side in horror and call for a boycott of the schools. Until the books were gone,

wow just like come on just his uncles up. Pamphlets surpassed room with the events. texts taken ass, a salacious out of context, details you that's right. There is also a book, a palms from which this horrifying rhyme was taken out was standing on the corner, not doing any harm along, came a policeman and took me by the arm. He took me around. The corner and he rang a little bell and along came a police car and took me to myself. This was considered offensive because it ridicule. What what. they were not happy with the Eu Cummings power. Like my body when you read that we like, oh you, have nothing.

the headline not happy with the coming Cummings poem. I like my body because it called pubic care electric funds, but Dave, there's, no other the thing to refer to it as from now on places, nails good Lord, That's what I mean there. Are she hadn't highlighted that I would never be like. I'm only use that I know what's going on. She said the alarm. so they are also upset by the second century tale of an enter into police, who pulled a thorn from a lion's paw. We've all heard that That is a terrible. That is a terrible, terrible story. Well, Now, the reason their upset by it wasn't the story. It was because students rest, you compare it to the story of Daniel. in the lions den in the Bible, but their vastly different, a parent quote?

but I have a problem with is preparing a myth, which is clearly a myth to the Bible, you know what I am where with is comparing amid the story of the lion and the Thorn May I will admit that. Imagine that's the member mean you can when someone goes like yeah, but the Bible said to you like I just I can't I can't fight this thing. Alice quote: that's putting bible right on the level of fables Yes, yes, yes, that's right, unlike no. It did build one boat to how's every species of animal to be thrown to the side. Like some fool, Moses did not literally split an a in two. reticule bad thumb story about a line that can speak

Alice began campaigning in the hollers of these comma county. She did not, I have a hard time winning over the white working class churchgoers. As I said, there were night meetings on street corners and in churches, and this brings in another dimension to the battle. So the fight is between cities and rural America, okay and their rhetoric was increasing day by day. Renwick was yeah, a group named the american parents group. Already I hate you cap just based on your name. We're currently in american parents. They picketed heck stores because one of the board members was the president of the stars. The entire text ministers it was like you're. The sore axis things is a department store, the text. Ministers pushed for the schools,

he closed down on August. Twenty seventh concerned citizens group these fuckin names just digital, thereby now lay already the way that adjustments they vote to boycott the schools until the books were gone. so the schools open knots September. Third, there is rather by picketing parents holding signs that red things like. I have a bible I need those dirty books, no peaceful coexistence. Sorry, no peaceful coexistence with satanic communism, Jesus, yes, textbooks net. Why is tat? Well, why is always been no line. With forever. Russia has been the bad guys so easy I mean, but in this one I'm like wait. Where are they even what

there was a rush attacked our curriculum yeah, I mean you know if you go through any of any of the the the black american intellectuals and you're going to run into a streak of socialism, you know that right. The first day, twenty percent of the forty five thousand students were absent: the schools Charleston were full. It was the rural schools where attendance dropped interesting, it was also union country so crossing the picket line at the school was very hard for the parents are doing Even though it was even though it's not even though it's not like your striking for the coal mine, it's it they just don't like that

it's a picket line, no matter wet right. Well, yeah. I mean that probably because it's like call emitted as like a cultural, but in this case it's a it's a it's a douchebags pig alive. Yes yeah. I guess you should not fear to cross this threshold, but it's also like I can't I mean just imagine being like over there. it will shut your school down and I'm taking it to that level where, like we would rather kids, be not go to a school that again. So they're there feeling, like the liberals, are telling us what what we canning can't that's. What this It also mean. Yes, it's in tackling it's just the. ingrained racism in that religious movements It's just an end now and they were the people. Do I let them that's not true. Look if any eddies black they guy game over.

Don't bring are so at that day the first day of school, twenty thousand shown up in an anti textbook rally. Twenty thousand people That is a lot of me, and some women went to coal mines to talk the miners into joining them the next day. Thirty five hundred call minors walked off the job it support, while the wild this wild cat strike, spread to other counties, and even sure Kentucky, and so all these now other coal mines or walking off the joy, and now they were experts, seasoned organizers involved in this movement, which took brings to another level of course, not I'll call minors or religious somewhere Democrats, but they just didn't like the elite as liberals telling them what to do right. One quote

in this case they want they lead US liberals are telling them to do- is just let their school ever curriculum. That is true, but your books books would stop that you don't want in their yeah So like always, the Democrats, the way to go in the rice sector. One comment or quote: they was gonna teach my kids Nationalism and homosexuality day was teaching Situational ethics members, Ethics, he means whether Ok Qaeda liar not like there are examples in the book of. Is there an ok time to lie, but then, of course, are it? Of course, there is writ red breed back that quote very quickly. Please There was gonna teach my kid socialism and homosexuality they was Reaching situational ethics struck, when you start socialism and homosexuality go together and leave my part if you're her

When you start this, you don't like the way that, changing the way that the kid speak and then you listen or how that guy just said you like, don't let that guy and interviewed anymore, That is not good. For the initial point I made. No, it's ok get these wide This is the coalition that you're building right of Korea. Whites might suburban Christians in an end by any means. Not you know like it is the White Malcolm X I only means that they will compromise their own moral, I will end by just that may raise at their worried that this is what's going to happen in their schools there compromising their morals and make sure that there are unable to comment as the morals of their children through this cloud. Look this guy basically saying should be reading other books right right?

Entire point is yes. I should probably reading outside of my my small world right. it, So now the national media, which have been focused on the buzzing rights in Boston, came to West Virginia. Finally, the Armenia came. The more angry both sides seemed to become over. weeks. The miners strike spread from business to business plants, factories in the county and others other counties. Most businesses were spread. That's the thing I can't. I kept reading its happening and other key these outside of the like this is all happening when county, but the strikes are spreading to other counties like it. I just dave its religion corona virus its moral, around a dive. Most businesses were against the strike, but some with fundamentalist owners gave money to the strikers, the school boycott and accompanying strikes, or nothing,

like anyone had ever seen the sure in solidarity explained what the coal miners were doing, but it wasn't just that there was also a new contract coming up, and this gave the United Mine workers a bit elaborate trap. So there's part of it too. yet the coal stocks we're heading down the miners. Also a couple of recent victories over the governor, so it's all kind of coming together, everything's gonna work. Can you integrate then the windows of the Board of Education building most of them were shot out by a shocker turned to the five days after opening day school attendance was dead to seventy seven percent and without around seventy seven percent to seven shit, percent of greater not come right again at still. Don't worry us out tonight,

if anything to do with the boycott, but she did ask for the school. Superintendence. Resignation share their astray checks out. doesn't seem like that. And things are just starting to heat up on September Temp city buses were stopped, as the drivers walked up the job. Eleven thousand people had no way to get around. the daily mail put out a front page editorial telling the board quote: make text concession. The very trade and commerce upon which all of us to must not be impeded. The text, the text books are not. The fight is being made over the that what God don't bed here. They are exactly the same. Liberals have arrived, yes, yeah! here. I would earnestly power of if there is the pall revere for liberals, he would say that concern.

a copying and all the liberals are just hide their heads and saint. They say that said bored voted to remove the books for thirty days, so they could be reviewed more Jesus Christ. Has it it just getting started. Writing them backwards. It would be a citizen review? What does so how's, oh, they were going to put together, not teachers, but people work at the yes, let's get the here. We go. Let's get stupider and stupider Alice took the compromise to twelve anti. book leaders while people are waiting outside. As this meeting is going on. The people inside her singing gospels Andres, but a great vibe The leaders all agreed to it, but Reverend Marvin Horn said he didn't think the protesters would agree outside. Then she should go. Tell him. So I went on side and she read the compromise

do the crowd most hammer from you, know the Eastern Eastern County area and man said he was there to quote get this government down to where there listen to us little old hillbillies, good new another. How the sign that red, even hillbillies have constitutional rights. elsewhere. The compromise was is poor. So they're getting more radical than her. Yes, but the wind when you like, when you're the ability to feel marginalized. All the time is just such an innate talent in our culture. When we've got We've got a giant. Streak of of people can be victims all the time. Yeah- it's just it's so after, read the compromise, people, bird and then a woman yelled quote: we want more. We want those stealthy books out, periods, burn them and the crowd cheered

this is. Why is this? Why you negotiate with terrorists? That's right! later that day, at a rally of one thousand Reverend Horton, said he had aired where they agree to the compromise. He was the current aunt I text spokesman and he said he would resign the crowd views to let him step down the classic. Will you guys, I really I let you down I let you down, I'm going to I'm not going to do this anymore of the drug is no better to know. We need to do so. He edition. He had now positioned himself to be the leader of the most radical hardcore protesters. Okay, so the new textbooks began to be removed on September twelfth the I dunno them. I might be wrong about that when I say removed at

maybe the eight but where they bed put in, I guess not have been taken out to be reviewed. The board members named three members each to make up the citizen. The review committee to look over the books they ain't. I texture said this wasn't good enough as we know, and they working to put their kids back in school and then students Washington? High high school were now livid at what they saw as censorship. Twelve hundred students walked out and shut down the high school and they said that would stay that way until all the books were returned A new judge have been appointed and he said he would do everything he could to stop the protesting on September. Thirteenth, the superintendent closed the schools because he was concerned for kids' safety and he was hoping to calm all the tensions it didn't work. The next day molotov cocktails were thrown into school schools back on comeback, everybody thinks started getting.

Crazy. Two men were shot jeez, another was severely beaten. Car Windows were smashed. the national media was covering the escalating battle. A CBS news crew was beaten by anti text protesters caught sight does. The weren't, even using the text into nearby countries, were closed because people are not picking them or culture but he's they lost. The other school is too far word. Air does goes too Far we're doing here when I believe in solidarity with, since we have to close why we didn't have those textbooks. It's just too are so stupid, we're just those stupid ever Crib Dave, name it but Frank Data, Frank, the Grand A so called companies, as made there twelve million schools.

to be a continuing to be attacked by some we're twenty seventh. There is an estimated three hundred thousand in damage done to schools chase. So without it Others got on ours, fleece town, the share, was being overwhelmed and he asked the governor to send the state police the help. So what is her deal? She is just sake. If we cannot manage it got there did, but so she's the dog and the male track, but I dunno that one. What is now needed is the I got the melcher like you, don't know what to do once you actually revenge achieved your goal that seem impossible, and now that you know you don't actually know what to do with it. She hasn't achieve their goal.

Like one when the Republicans embrace the tea party and on the tea party took over the Republican Party right the same thing when you don't understand the power of the people, you working life and yes, but more drank yeah, but it's also Lake Crimea, Reverent like you, are the one who lit the fuse. To what you know, I'm an explosive area and are now I'm not sympathise whether your stated by always ten years in this argument, Dave you ve What is going on her side of this fair, she's, pretty hot? those are the sheriff either health, the army helicopters going over me. That's why Mozilla? then the governor said he wouldn't help out the sheriff unless the sheriff declared it a state of anarchy. And then this was just too embarrassed the sheriff, because he was a Democrat so that now the politics of the

all right so far right, that's a temporary eleven protesters were arrested for violating a new court injunction against picketing on school property. Three of them were ministers. One was Reverend Charles quickly, who told the male quote, bring that God will strike three members of the Candle County Board of Education dead us peace. The words something. Why would you tell the paper that and why would you think, what kind of God is this Mozilla but a god he's just very rude. Just don't who'd person is just like a barren sir. GOSH bowed, Sir God is one or two percent now, unfortunately were tears. Gary were gathered forego model all. But why look he's ladies night scares me what committed my whole life. Do everything was for you? Yes,

say, look is ladies night. It's a ten dollar cover charge. Lets you gotta cleavage, which you do not my friend a gain. The vote Gaga very support. Those maybe you could go down the screws, I gotta open, bought a night, yeah well screw years, get the full the girl. We will get good the guy likes snow. Don't you you gonna purgatory. I'm a man. So after this guy says this is printed in the paper. People are shocked Well days later he backsides Eddie. He wasn't praying for their death but forgotten hours to bring an end everything shirts out. You could say that could be misconstrued. very clear quote what he will do when I heard that I thought that's what he meant October. Third, these state school superintendent,

said the decision to remove the books for review. Probably illegal and our view group was so at the same time, turning into a shit show these six anti text members formed, major review group, she neither. the two that there were two separate you? Ve been one problem and one client like I've got a jumbo jet. School Board Members Albert Einstein had had it. He resigned from the board. He was done. He said it was because he could not accept the removal of good textbooks. a guy who was a member elected to the border, was sworn in hers and how a guy was member, let this part of the road, but whatever

I'm ok, we're not understanding superintended alypius anti text groups kept meeting in demanding the three pro board. Members and supervisors resign. Eighteen protesters we're arrests October seventh, when they blocked a school bus full of kids. violent, started. Breaking out again. Three elementary schools, vandalized October night Campbells greek cars were burned. People were injured on Were eighteenth, someone shot at an empty bus as it drove down the street Four days later, I ve no there's yes, there's a driver, but nobody else. It's not an anti burst David, That's what an empty bus, men's and childless bus. You were pitching ghost bus, No, yes, by the way we should, we should probably pitched goes but political. I'll go see. That's it

who Four days later, a school was dynamited at Campbells great event. The idea that dynamite as a verb looted. dynamite. That's all they got a four year old, would say and pretend tat come up. Jimmy Walker, I know, but No dialogue might different Dave, he didn't say dynamited. Didn't think I'd get that reference and you'd be able to skate. It really didn't buy too bad a pop up. Now there are no Adrian, because this goes empty. A a pro book person shot an ant type tax guy through the heart. he sent survived what is happening about it as MRS Van Helsing. Art reserve revived

Then the Citizen Review Committee endorsed for books and the Splinter Review Committee rejected those four books. More and more schools were being dynamited or firebomb with Malta cocktails. Then fifteen sticks of And it might were blown up near the gas Peter at the Board of Education offices right after a meeting ended. There are no injuries school attendance, got down to seventy three percent of surprise: did Driving down it was seventy three percent before I thought it was, Seventy seven hours out the cemetery ok Province, The christian schools are now opening everywhere there in church basements there in all gas stations there. Instead. From what I want to go to school at an old abandoned, seventy six, I would I will fucking colon cancer? I gotta tell about chaos as a very valuable lesson and an

and everybody's term paper about license plates yet, but I will soon questions. I thought this was gonna, be about Jesus Jesus, the course it is Dumb ass, good get Dejesus horsemen get these so that kept bullshit changes in everything there was to help them. I'd have to do with how well the law does create. Everything didn't need, answer me, William, didn't he. This could be model for created everything didn't he. Therefore, caps. His sermon night air for high created dates, o k, I go put your head in the water, where we put the tires to see if there's a leak in him. The punishment I come, I'm the only student,

What's the matter, you gonna do that When you come back we'll be back in session, get back to gallery. later we got teaching that a man, that's where. Taiwan drugs. I know what to tell you a mean shit. They murdered tomorrow? Top is called hangar. no, why else don't feel scared? licence, crimes were hired by panic. Ok, I'm not supposed to be dealing. But this shit. Ok, I'm trying to it's you We need to learn about hubcaps. We learn about other stuff. What year? What is question you want, but we cannot teach. You is sexual education

I will. I know about the winners and the giant at what they told you was off limits like hamper teach you that no one knows where Shit Denmark. I will come back to my daughter both well. Come on. What are you talking about? That's into the idea, I'm not in it no I'm not taken the bait on this. It's hot book, the best feeling in the world is when you put your penis in a lady ocean of my voice, just trying to chase this Christ and the Bible was quote the main textbook of the schools. A televised board meeting was then held on November. Seventh, it was held at the Charleston Civic Centre, because they thought thousands would want to attend sure, but only a hundred shut up, because they are all worried about violence, while elsewhere

I did her own guidelines for the books. The board ignored them. The board then voted for Dhawan to put the more controversial books in school libraries, and if students got permission from their parents, they could read them, That's it. That's the condemned and had taken the ape Bulgaria and I'm not audibly audio books. You mean Girls are essentially all the ship it's gone. She is pretty much got nothing. She got eight books put well she's got she's got a hurdle. Yes, it's a hurt. Nobody has nothing really. Ultimately anybody wants to read a completed, which would have been the case anyway. so this is clearly not enough for Alice, said the kids who couldn't read the books would just be made fun of quote. I know what happened. is to a child like that or the laughing school air. It is there, it is there just guess what, if you're, if you're the fucking parent who's having books taken out of school, then yes, your kid is

Going to be the laughing stock is, although she's been marked yeah, she's she's like now, because then what happens? If they all say that that cheap did that you can't be the one who is weird. It's a weird and that because you where'd you can join the rest, the birthday parties and because you miss them, it's a party, your mom, and tells you that you can't have a birthday party at all. He was a birthday party because you told your friends: you'd have a party at your birthday party when it turns well. Soames can think of I'm not comfortable with it. I wanted a bad crape cake and I was given a carrot. You thirty balls, Thirty four now fall, the door's locked throw us about the one made truth class. He added Seventy four have invented away

regarding there is now we got tv and open a pandora's box. So the protesters felt like there in condescended to buy the cultural leaders with his decision. Then the suit then the supervisor announced he would begin enforcing attendance lots. Alice said parents would be forced to teach their kids it Am a reverend at a rally said they would set up their own school system said a lot of black people. This is all just about race. Outright lie that what do you think of them that indication? Black writers, Dick Gregory average Kleiber links in use and James Baldwin, we're all called Anti christian and anti white. An english teachers quote. I think it was about race, not about culture. I think it was a pet up fury about the civil rights movement and they were afraid, blacks becoming

so well educated that they would take their jobs. It's also. This is also the constant fear that any culture other than yours is going to be inserted into. the society and that it the change of position. So your hall you're, happy years you operate from a private place of such pair. Lawyer when you have everything you want didn't you want anything to change It was a privilege to be like there can be no other voice here yeah and to go on with the quote, and then, when I saw signs that said, get the Nigger books out of the county, These signs were everywhere and one day I looked out my window and saw the coup clucks clan, and I knew this was racial, so at some point its it started out here.

Is it started out like a cultural thing in an economic thing, and then the races came right right. Sir People are literally walking around holding these sign written and the cook lifespan is there's an eye Got the merging of the poor working class, these suburban Christians and then the fucking race, alright, who are going to take over the party, the President of the Charleston, any cp said he had seen graffiti on rocks in rural areas. That said quote get the Negro literature out of boss and black people are being racially abused by white christian protesters at the schools. Groups for both Let the right and the left started coming in to get in on the action, including the John Birch Society, the Heritage Foundation, the Klan, the National Education Association, the granite better, involve for awhile. Did they started having cross burnings?

I may add: thy textures were now spending money and time publicly disavowing the clan and on April Ansari November, tenth in rural Campbells Creek, a rumour started that Carlos black people are coming to the town to attack. The caravan caravan. So a hundred like guys got out their guns, they put all the women in church and they waited for these black caravans to come, but then police came and set its all bullshit and told them altogether. On November fifteen, a bunch of extreme anti text protesters had this had had the superintendent and the four per Boardman.

as you voted for the compromise arrested. I can figure out what else happened with that, but they phrase it yes and they just then, on November twenty first the board accepted Alice's guidelines. They would bar books that pride into a child's home taught racial hatred under my religious, ethnic or racial groups, insult of patriotism. The name used the name of God in Vain and used offensive language. at this will be applied to all April nineteen. Seventy five books, not the current one, read to unlearn at all: yeah there'll, be for screening committees now of teachers and parents, but Alice still not satisfied what an asshole an anti text group took out a full page ad in the Charleston Gazette with lines from offensive books, like quote, and you feel like sweating and God damning worse and worse and listen you yellow bastards,

what the hell's the idea for oh damn, your mother's cups of God. Oh damn, your mother's cops, It will now we're just slipped. Taking Should attic, The text in putting the larger mothers cops you, as commissioner education spoke about the book controversy and took the side of the parents, teachers groups denounced him. Alice was thrilled and said. The commissioner should immediately quote of all that our funds to teacher training and promotional programme new, do educational concept and guidelines

established to protect brainwashing is fulfilled yeah on December twelfth the board meeting was held. This one was televised. The board compromised even more by officially approving the first private school to be run by fundamentalists, so now they're efficiently allowing private schools. But there are still a lot of heckling going on at the meeting and eventually protesters rushed the stage or the main table. One man jumped on board member F Douglas Stump the supervisor. Try to pull him off and he was attacked and punched. A woman rushed in trying to make the supervisor and then more people attacked. It turned into a massive brawl, there was finally over. Please used video to make arrests. While they were tends to reply. About a week later, a man who spent a lot of time with the anti text at the Anti text Book headquarters,

John Name for a place. I mean anti text or headquarters, were the eighteen by H, Q, what it can do there were bicycles, a time someone's China Brown, their mandate touch. We make should put blinders on love. While there are now trying to you know, learn stuff for men. The thing you gotta remember is what happened to your parents. Is all that matters. Guy. yeah. I know that makes sense because lie. Say crazy shit, bad, how America was discovered, but I don't understand why people came off a trees. Were white paper was part of trace than we just pact. We take these.

there are trees and that's why I bizarre, and originally not the native american people, so I'm just gonna, I'm gonna just walk backwards out the door where, like the way you workin out real slowly like you're all perturbed and search, but not you I got a great meeting is a great idea. You're totally. Why rat all the way through. Why a very loud to friend I will come back with manners and stuff dad's, like you will come back once we finish with that Maya. We can give it my juggler Rainier always saloon. Along a friend how argued big deal bay,

become Lyonnaise was heard. couple days I gotta get me wrong. That's why out the day the man? try to get you mile, fifteen minute, man, You may know the tanker. Oh you frank in the big boy. I think what we'll see you tomorrow, my man, you tomorrow guys are great love. You, like a lover, you do love you, but you'll say it now. I want Bama so, is this guy, a lot of time with the textbook headquarters and camels Creek was interrogated by police and he confessed to throwing dynamite into

local school down, dynamited them it. You told them that it was actually part of a bigger plan. He said at the headquarters they discussed putting a blasting cap into the gas tank of a car at a school. I it shook so after the kids got in the driver, would reverse and hit the brakes at the bottom of the hill and the car would blow up with the kittens the domestic terrorists yeah right up until that point, the bombings were in empty buildings, the Reverend Marvin Horan and five others were arrested for conspiracy. People were shocked to see the Reverend horns name in the paper. In January, Ku Klux Klan members spoke to a crowd of anti testers and texters and offered legal aid to Reverend Horn and others arrested Horn praised the clan as the only

group that quote fights communism, socialism, Niggers and Judaism. Now, I'm in the client, they really do not a fight. I mean of try, it is it's like once you have invited this evil element in its in at the trial. The dynamite thrower said horn had told the others that the Bible support the bombing yeah right. I recently read ginger, he read them. You read them passages from the Bible. One was quote, there's a time and a place for all things: the time for love a time to hate a time to kill a time to be killed. For peace in time for war laugh tat. There is a wish to blossom it's a parking areas revenue

It was convicted on one count of conspiracy on May nineteenth, nineteen, seventy five and sentenced to three years. His followers believed he was railroaded and still to this day believe he was railroaded share after the trial things settled down in the county. The book supporters claimed victory because the books went back into the schools, but many schools actually refused the books and for years teachers were so concerned about controversy. They wouldn't assign monitor books to students, because teachers could become targets. Some teachers are still angry today, as they were, then distrust of public education became a permanent legacy from the Panama textbook WAR for the entire country. The anti text people today see themselves as pioneers and revolutionaries. They say they came before Fox NEWS and Sean Hannity and rush Limbaugh above you call it if, unlike other countries, there is no federally mandated curriculum in America controls local.

Today we still fight over control of school districts and Alice's opinions never changed. Recently. She said quote, I believe in indoctrinating my children. I start with a basic assumption that God exists. I do not want them to be opine, I do lottery option Alice to get out We open minded in areas where God has spoken. She's got is right That is right. Everything else is wrong. She blames them four distorting the issues of what they were. Fighting television, television

If we were distorting incorrectly, television has been the greatest moral disaster. This country's ever know. She regrets compromising at allowing the thirty day Review of books, believing if she had not agreed that they would have won the fight in two thousand eleven. She was awarded the Doktor Robert Dreyfus, courageous Christian leadership award from frontline ministries and the exodus mandate project, which encourages parents to home school or put the kids and christian schools. They cannot county text, but controversy is a when middle class Christians worried about their values, working class, whites upset with cultural leaders and and racist first came together. This would become the coalition that the right would used to gain power for decades. So she started at all.

and it led to where we are congratulations. You know they didn't. I is a poor one person just ass, the president hip nowhere yeah, I mean it is just here. Yeah. It's amazing how everything seems to gain a god Damn following yeah. Well, I mean at least now we're in it now we're in a place where there are two parties in America and one doesn't believe in A virus: yes, why one exists

but the other seems rational Ireland. I regard well good listener to drive home nice least yeah. One I later tonight, anyway, I will do this logics with Yes, how greatest the zoo Google, hangouts and, like everyone was just acknowledges. Zoom governments like this is me when preparing our lives for years now, the fuck you

Let's I mean that it is as we both know. It's what's great, when the entire Senate votes for something that is so bullshit. Is this it's kind of freeing because it should tell everybody that

We are actually on the same side. These I'm just on our own team? The system is being exposed for not caring about us, and I guess, and at the end that will be. Is it plays out? That will be a good. We, as a society are running a diagnostic and there are many things we forgot. We downloaded like we ve been the fuck. Is this shit, so it is too often and to be adequately not everybody was working in a working there. Ass is often stressed out. Everybody can't work and has stressed out. It's just you.
