What was unique was that this was the first time it brought forth such a widespread confrontation between Texas conservatives and Texas liberals over what should appear in social studies programs. The monumental confrontation between those Texas conservatives and liberals brought out a star-studded cast of rather colorful spokespersons concerned with the content of social studies textbooks. Whether conservative or liberal, what they had to say in their public testimonies showed they spoke with sincerity, conviction, and passion. Equally important their public testimonies are every bit as relevant today as they were in 1961-1962"-- Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a A Nation Divided: Political and Social Conflicts in the United States, 1945-1961 -- The Lone Star: Political, Social, and Educational Conflicts in Texas, 1945-1961 -- Trouble Brewing: Setting the Stage for the Texas Textbook Controversy of 1961-1962 -- A Call to Arms: The Texas State Textbook Committee Hearings, September 14, 1961 -- The Verdict Is In: The Recommendations of the Texas State Textbook Committee -- Historian versus Historian: J.
