Extract

Refuse to allow your children to be taught by radical teachers. In some places that may mean teaching them at home. Well, then, teach them at home! No matter if it is the fashionable thing in your town to send girls to one of the colleges dominated by socialists—refuse to send your daughter—better for her to be without an A.B. than to be a disloyal citizen.

12 The early to mid-1920s was also the heyday of the Klan, Ku Klux, which championed a white, Protestant America and attacked anyone who did not agree with its views. While women were active in the Klan, membership demographics likely differed from those who belonged to the DAR or the WPCND—who would have considered the Klan too crude and its tactics too violent.Google Scholar
