Priests of Our Democracy tells of the teachers and professors who
battled the anti-communist witch hunt of the 1950s. It traces the
political fortunes of academic freedom beginning in the late 19th
century, both on campus and in the courts. Combining political and
legal history with wrenching personal stories, the book details how
the anti-communist excesses of the 1950s inspired the Supreme Court
to recognize the vital role of teachers and professors in American
democracy. The crushing of dissent in the 1950s impoverished
political discourse in ways that are still being felt, and First
Amendment academic freedom, a product of that period, is in peril
today. In compelling terms, this book shows why the issue should
matter to everyone.
