The Kanawha County Book Controversy.

The newly formed Heritage Foundation, today one of America's most influential far-right think tanks, assisted parents who wanted to ban books from the local school system in Kanawha County.

One parent described the rudimentary public school books as "filthy, trashy, disgusting, one-sidedly in favor of blacks, and unpatriotic."

Members of the PTA claimed, "Many of the books are literally full of anti-Americanism, anti-religion, and discrimination … [They] flout law and order and respect for authority. "

When the school board refused to buckle to those demanding Black history be banned, a series of bombs and dynamite were detonated inside the school.

The demands increased. Not only did the reactionary parents want to see Black history banned - they demanded the removal of all books in from the school system - from Plato's Republic to Moby Dick.
