A Measuring Rod to Test Text Books, and Reference Books in Schools, Colleges and Libraries
Excerpt from A Measuring Rod to Test Text Books, and Reference Books in Schools, Colleges and Libraries
Do not reject a text-book because it may disagree with your estimate of the South's great men, and the leaders of the South's Army and Navy - the world can never agree with any one per son's estimate in all things.
But - reject a book that speaks of the Constitution other than a Compact between Sovereign States.

I marked this as nonfiction, but the whole "test" was created to fictionalize and romanticize the Confederacy and slavery. I can't help but worry that groups today have updated and adapted this for their own use in going after books on public schools. Some still believe in the "lost cause," while others want to say ridiculous things like slavery wasn't that bad. One group says that stories about racism, in order to be taught in schools, must explicitly discuss the progress we've made today or it has no business being taught to kids. This book is the template for things we see today.
