Why are you bothering to use Friedan as an example? She was a commie scumbag and I have no intention of defending her. I guess you are throwing as much you can in my direction and seeing what sticks, is that it?
Highlander was a leftwing, often naive, organization and, in the early, years proably had communist who were involved on some levels (so did the AFL and CIO and numberless other organizations and agencies).
Jumping from this, do the laughable claim that it was "Communist training school" does not wash. I would be interested in your thoughts of the references in footnote 37. Did you read them, if so, what are your *specific* objections to the information contained in these references. That was, after all, the whole point of my message to you.
BTW, did you even read the King quote. What is your opinion on that? Just a commie trick? If so, he makes a better case against communism than most freepers! That sly dog eh?
The misidentification of Horowitz was the least of your "mistakes." Accepting what this leftist schmuck writes as truth is beyond mistake -- it's blindingly stupid. As I mentioned, he offers no proof of his claim that "a FBI investigator" cleared the Highlander School of Communist control -- yet you accept it.
Why are you bothering to use Friedan as an example?
Obviously I used what was written about her because you referred me to the fawning propaganda piece in the first place.
Highlander was a leftwing, often naive, organization and, in the early, years proably had communist who were involved on some levels (so did the AFL and CIO and numberless other organizations and agencies).
The fact that writing courses were taught there by "communist-led" organizations is enough for me, or didn't you read that in your own proffered article?
I would be interested in your thoughts of the references in footnote 37.
Footnote 37 has this to say:
37. John M. Glen, Highlander: No Ordinary School, 1932-1962 (Lexington, Ky., 1988), 47-69. I am grateful to Professor Glen for a letter in which he clarified the timing of the League's sponsorship. Meltzer, Friedan, 20 says that Friedan's economics professor pointed her to Highlander but identifies that professor as a male; since the only economics course Friedan took was from Douglas, I am assuming that it was she who urged her student to attend the workshop. Meltzer thinks that is a reasonable assumption: Milton Meltzer, phone conversation with Daniel Horowitz, 24 Sept. 1995.
So Glen gives Friedan an out -- the League wasn't there in 1941 when Friedan was. (The Reds had only been there the two previous years.) And Meltzer clarifies what gender Friedan's professor was. So?
