Challenges to Public School Reading Textbooks.
Patterson, Frances R. A.
West's Education Law Quarterly, v5 n2 p319-38 Apr 1996
Analyzes five cases related to challenges to public school textbooks. Five different U.S. Courts of Appeal have considered the objections of parents to textbooks, and all five found for the defendant school districts. Reveals that what began as a grassroots parental movement evolved into a nationwide crusade that has embroiled communities. (129 footnotes) (MLF)
