Fikes, Robert, Jr. Censorship Elementary Schools Elementary Secondary Education Learning Resources Centers Moral Issues Moral Values Reading Materials School Districts School Libraries Secondary Schools Socioeconomic Background Socioeconomic Influences Textbooks This paper focuses on the factors which precipitated a violent conflict over the introduction of certain textbooks and supplementary reading materials in Kanawha County, West Virginia, in 1974. The paper analyzes and reviews the developments that occurred from April 1974 to February 1975 and examines the issues that were raised. A description of the people and the social and economic environment of this Appalachian county provides background information to the chain of events which surrounded the textbook controversy. It is observed that the protest movement resulted from a conflict between dominant and suppressed cultures as well as from differences in perceptions. (16 references) (MAB)
