520 $a The focus of this qualitative study was one parents' group which challenged a school district over implementation of the Impressions series. Parents were opposed to the content of some selections and some illustrations which they said were negative, violent, occultic, fearful, or not representative of America.
520 $a The initial questions were how do parents organize to oppose a textbook series, and why do parents challenge a textbook series. How the controversy started and sustained itself was answered by observing a textbook challenge that encompassed most of two school years. Why a controversy erupted is revealed in a multi-layered analysis of how parents construct their positions in opposition to textbooks. Five layers of the controversy include censorship, parents' rights, liberty of thought or belief, the right to power and control, and professionalism. Censorship and the issue of content revealed troubling issues which related to the right of parents to impact their childrens' education. Liberty of thought versus infringement on others' rights contrasted with the freedom to think. Parents attempt to recall school board members evolved into a struggle for power and control of knowledge. Attempts to defend their professional status and to define the terms of the controversy positioned the school district in opposition to parents who opposed the series.
520 $a The data suggested that this controversy was more complicated than simply censorship. The controversy seemed to drive otherwise conservative residents in two directions. One direction was toward liberalism, the other was toward the New Right.
520 $a By positioning parents through discourse on the New Right at the beginning of a controversy, textbooks supporters could tend to drive them further toward New Right positions. Rather than being positioned on the side of the New Right when the controversy began this group appeared to be pushed toward rightist positions by circumstances of the conflict. The views of this parent group ultimately resonated with many of those of the New Right. However they were not connected with rightist groups in a formal way at the beginning of the controversy. Educational politics intertwine with religious politics as parents construct coalitions to challenge a school district.
