This article appeared in the September 18, 1985 edition of The Alabama Journal, Montgomery’s now-defunct afternoon newspaper. An astute reader will see similarities between today’s disputes over how certain people and groups are represented and over what are acceptable representation for schoolchildren and these disputes from forty years ago. I thought it was particularly tactful of this journalist Susan Hurst to write that “the Civil Liberties Union of Alabama, the National Organization for Women and the Eagle Forum gave diverse testimony [italics mine] this morning . . .” Yeah, I’ll bet.
