[QUOTE="Voegelin, post: 32148467, member: 11257"] [FONT=Arial]Of course not. But students should know what Miller's history was. Helpful to understand why he wrote what he did. Miller should not be passed off as a great defender of American freedoms and personal liberty without giving an account of his CPUSA/CPSU affiliation. No one can be said to be educated who does not know what recent scholarship has discovered the CPUSA did and the millions each year the NKVD and KGB spent funding it. We spend a lot of money on public education in America. Let's make sure teachers such as this one do not give a false impression of American history.[/FONT] [FONT=Arial]An account of Miller's pseudonymous writing for the Soviets may be found in [I]Trinity of Passion: The Literary Left and the Antifascist Crusade[/I] by Alan Wald; University of North Carolina Press. Documents detailing the funding of the CPUSA by the Comintern and the [I]chekisty[/I] are found in numerous recent publications.

Students should know that. They should also know the propaganda use the Soviets made of Millers' work.
