  • The Rearguard of Freedom: the John Birch Society and the Development
    The Rearguard of Freedom: The John Birch Society and the Development of Modern Conservatism in the United States, 1958-1968 by Bart Verhoeven, MA (English, American Studies), BA (English and Italian Languages) Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the Faculty of Arts July 2015 Abstract This thesis aims to investigate the role of the anti-communist John Birch Society within the greater American conservative field. More specifically, it focuses on the period from the Society's inception in 1958 to the beginning of its relative decline in significance, which can be situated after the first election of Richard M. Nixon as president in 1968. The main focus of the thesis lies on challenging more traditional classifications of the JBS as an extremist outcast divorced from the American political mainstream, and argues that through their innovative organizational methods, national presence, and capacity to link up a variety of domestic and international affairs to an overarching conspiratorial narrative, the Birchers were able to tap into a new and powerful force of largely white suburban conservatives and contribute significantly to the growth and development of the post-war New Right. For this purpose, the research interrogates the established scholarship and draws upon key primary source material, including official publications, internal communications and the private correspondence of founder and chairman Robert Welch as well as other prominent members. Acknowledgments The process of writing a PhD dissertation seems none too dissimilar from a loving marriage. It is a continuous and emotionally taxing struggle that leaves the individual's ego in constant peril, subjugates mind and soul to an incessant interplay between intense passion and grinding routine, and in most cases should not drag on for over four years.

    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 257 728 SO 016 530 AUTHOR Parker, Franklin TITLE Roots of the New Right :nool Critic Max Rafferty (1917-82). PUB DATE 85 NOTE 21p. PUB TYPE Viewpoints (120) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Biographies; *Conservatism; Controversial Issues (Course Content); Curriculum Design; Educational Change; *Educational History; *Educational Philosophy; Educational Policy; Elementary Secondary Education; Public Education; Public Policy IDENTIFIERS California; Moral Majority; *New Right; *Rafferty (Max) ABSTRACT In the 1960's Max Rafferty, a conservative California teacher, princiTA1, and superintendent of public instruction, expressed many ideas which the New Right has been able to put into effect in the 1980's. The influence of political and religious conservatives is seen in movements for public school prayer; advancing private over public education through the use of vouchers, tuition tax credits, and Christian academies; censorship of school textbooks, public library books, and other media; opposition to sex education; opposition to busing to achieve school desegregation; opposition to public school financing through bond issues; and support from the Reagan administration. In the curriculum, this movement has promoted anti-evolution creation science and opposed what it considers to be secular humanism. Rafferty was instrumental in the development of many of these ideas. He began his career in small, southern California desert towns and gained national exposure through reprints of a 1961 speech attacking progressive education. During his terms as state school superintendent he was thwarted in implementing many of his ideas by local control of schools. After losing an election for the United States Senate he became Education Dean at Troy State University in Alabama.

  • The Orange County Right Wing and the Battle Over Progressive Education
    Politics, America, and Sex: What Could Go Wrong? The Orange County Right Wing and the Battle over Progressive Education Emma Bianco History 101 Thesis Professor M. Brilliant Fall 2018 I. Introduction On November 9th, 2016, while the national press focused on a quite tumultuous presidential election, a subtler revolution took place. For the first time in eighty years, my home county of Orange County, California voted for a democratic presidential candidate (by 39,000 votes).1 A similar process repeated itself in the 2018 midterms: the Democrats gained control all four House seats in Orange County and flipped all seven Republican held seats.2 This dent in the Right’s political monopoly over Orange County suggests a reversal of its staunch conservative nature. During such a tumultuous period in one of the most infamous political regions, I sought to fathom the development of my county’s Republican disposition. However, when conducting preliminary research, I became aware of a fascinating ideological battle within Orange County during the 1960s, centered around a contentious debate of “progressive education.” Amongst a population of 1.4 million in twenty-two cities, with 361,890 children enrolled in public K-12 districts by 1970, this curriculum battle revealed the depth of political influence upon educational policies.3 This all but forgotten incident in Orange County’s history presents an intriguing case study in the development of this 1 Seema Mehta, “Orange County Voted for a Democrat for President for the First Time since the Great Depression,” Los Angeles Times, November 9, 2016, http://www.latimes.com/nation/politics/trailguide/la-na-election-aftermath-updates-trail- orange-county-turns-1478716018-htmlstory.html.
