I saw the court transcript about this a couple of months ago. It really is shocking. I have only read portions of it. I saved it for another day to read. I didn't see the original document posted, so here it is. https://archive.org/stream/investigationofc1953unit/investigationofc1953unit_djvu.txt

Thanks ! 1953 Committee on UnAmerican Activities:

"The Communist conspiracy provides for the infiltration of every phase and field of American life. Communist objectives are to create strife between labor and management and within the labor group it- self, to cause people to be suspicious and distrustful of the Govern- ment and the law enforcement agencies thereof, to make them dis- satisfied with the American way of life, particularly its economic sys- tem, to create doubts concerning their religious teachings, to set class against class, minorities against majorities, and even minorities against minorities when it suits their purpose. "

testimony by Bella Dodd:

"You will be interested in noting the catalogs about ethics, courses on religion, courses on the Bible ; they have practically been dropped out of the college curricula.

It is a method of despiritualizing the American people. "

You're welcome. It's amazing how it echos much of what we have seen develop in recent years.
