...Communist Party Boston Youth Club (CP) sent the CRIMSON a letter on January 27 presenting its views on the draft. We have strong disgareements with the CP's program, indeed with its approach to building a movement. We will try, in this answer, to rebut the most important arguments the CP uses and put forward some ideas...
This dual approach of supporting workers' struggles and trying to win them to actively opposing the war we call worker-student alliance; whatever it's called, we think it's the only way the anti-war movement can grow, in the long run, into a movement with the ability, that is, the power, to defeat the government's attempt to defeat revolutions all over the world.

Tracing its origin back to the creation of the Chicago Teachers Federation in 1897, the A.F.T. was for most of its history one of organized labor's less effective branches. Teachers generally felt superior to a blue-collar approach, and the union itself was rocked during the '30s by Communist infiltration, which was eventually eradicated. Under the 1952-1964 presidency of Carl J. Megel, membership grew from 39,000 to 100,000. The union's biggest local, New York City's United Federation of Teachers, contributed...
