"The Public School Problem in America," 1924

This 1924 Ku Klux Klan-authored pamphlet attacked the problems of the American public educational system -- lack of school funding and high rates of illiteracy. The pamphlet also stirred up fears about immigrants and Catholics -- targets of Klan assaults. These groups, the Klan believed, were not becoming assimilated into an American way of life because of poor schooling or the role of church-dominated institutions.
