...Commonweal Catholic, as Sheed sees it, cannot believe that his personal feelings are relevant to the issues. He has only contempt for "weeping politicians," who either confess their political sins or flaunt their virtues. "McCarthy could not, if life depended on it, act out his compassion for the poor," says Sheed. "Politically, this subject demands a certain amount of Mammy-singing.

The point is merely that these implications cannot be fought by preventing teachers from expressing such ideas in their classes. The morality of disruption in such cases is therefore nil, and only anger and bitterness can be produced by it. The net result, in other words, is not only dangerous...
