Watch Out! Booby Traps!, 1951

 File — Box: 2, Folder: 91

Scope and Contents

October 20, 1951. A teacher stands scratching his head next to a rifle and army helmet labeled "extra-curricular stoppage", looking over a barbed wire fenced middle ground towards a goal over the far hills of "$4000-$8000 Salary". Between them is "elementary school vs. high school"; "coercion"; "red-baiting mine field"; fear"; "disunity;" and "misleaders". [labeled 5 200/2-2] Teachers are cautioned not to be misled by the phony promises of salary increases so that they ignore the genuine threats posed by so-called leaders who sow disunity between elementary and high school teachers and who give their silent assent to the persecution of teachers for their political benefits.
