It traces the political fortunes of academic freedom beginning in the late 19th century, both on campus and in the courts. Combining political and legal history with wrenching personal stories, the book details how the anti-communist excesses of the 1950's inspired the Supreme Court to recognize the vital role of teachers and professors in American democracy. The crushing of dissent in the 1950's impoverished political discourse in ways that are still being felt, and First Amendment academic freedom, a product of that period, is in peril today. In compelling terms, this book shows why the issue should matter to everyone. 606 $aTeaching, Freedom of$zUnited States 606 $aAnti-communist movements$zUnited States 606 $aUniversities and colleges$xLaw and legislation$zUnited States 606 $aPublic schools$xCurricula$xCensorship$zUnited States 606 $aFreedom of speech$zUnited States 606 $aAcademic freedom$zUnited States 615 0$aTeaching, Freedom of 615 0$aAnti-communist movements 615 0$aUniversities and colleges$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aPublic schools$xCurricula$xCensorship 615 0$aFreedom of speech 615 0$aAcademic freedom 676 $a344.73078 700 $aHeins$b Marjorie$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01492730 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786145303321 996 $aPriests of Our Democracy$93715384 997 $aUNINA
