Abstract	Inhalt: Introduction: Progressives in a strange land -- What does Jesus have to do with phonics? Understanding educational conservatism -- Monkeys, morality, and modern America: conservative educational activism in the Scopes era -- Pulling the Rugg out: textbooks and the American way -- Rich, Republican, and reactionary: Pasadena's revolt against progressivism -- Save the children: Kanawha County in the age of malaise -- Conservatism and American education. - The idea that American education has been steered by progressivism is accepted as fact by liberals and conservatives alike. Adam Laats shows that this belief is wrong. Calling to center stage conservatives who shaped America's classrooms, he shows that in the long march of American public education, progressive reform has been a beleaguered dream.
