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?

As to fn 37, let me try again and frame the question another way. Have you read the Glen book and, if so, what is your response to his evidence that Highlander was not a Communist training school? Again, this is my point in bring up fn 37.
