Abstract |
Letter from Theodore Debs, 04/16/1918. Writes that he read today of Schuhardt's persecution in the newspaper. Assures Schuhardt that her "silly, trumped charges" upon which she was dismissed deceives not one intelligent person in Terre Haute, Indiana. Tells Schuhardt that everyone knows that there was nothing wrong with her work but that she was dismissed because as a socialist she was "persona non grata with the capitalist masters who rule in our schools as they do in their factories and stores." Remarks that he is sure that charge of disloyalty will be shown as a falsehood before the matter is closed. Says that Schuhardt's dismissal is a credit and honor to her because she refused the "pollute the mind of childhood by glorifying human butchery and national massacre" and to inculcate her students with "the poison of militarism." |
