...contradiction of a basic tenet of American education--objectivity. Such interpretation in education can be justified only by assuming that all the facts about the war have been proved, which is not the case.

The lofty positions of these men give their words weight beyond their worth, so that they should give long and serious thought to the subject before making any statement.
