Education: Back to McGuffey
(2 of 2)
As a concession to these critics, the board agreed to paste brown tape over or tear out such religious passages as the Sermon on the Mount. But outside of that, it would take no guff about McGuffey. Said Beula: "McGuffey teaches the basic morals of Americanism—honor your parents, honesty, love animals." Said Pfeiffer: "McGuffey builds recognition of the heroic, the elevated, the patriotic strength on which our country is based. If we had McGuffey's in our schools we never would have had the defections we had in Korea."
