U.S. Congress testimony of the late Dr. Bella Dodd, former head of the Education Department of the Communist Party, USA, after her expulsion from the party in 1949. See her book “School of Darkness”, an entry on this website. An important excerpt from the hearings follows which explains first-hand how the Communist Party USA goes after anyone who questions communist activities, especially those related to the public schools of America.

Dr. Dodd: “The Communist Party knew how to fight very effectively against anyone who touched the Communist movement. If anyone tried to attack the Communist movement, the Communist Party immediately went among the liberals, among its allies, and on various bases got the support and help of these people to smear and to isolate the person who was hurting Communists.”
