  "As they went to the polls on November 7, 1922—the voters of Oregon were asked to approve an amendment to the state’s education laws that  meant "if you send your child to a private school instead of a public one, you face fine, imprisonment, or both.
  Nowhere in that law was the word “Catholic” mentioned, but the goal was clear: to shut down all Catholic schools and to steer their students into public schools, where threatening “papist” views could be safely blanched from the youngsters’ minds.
  The law was championed by the Ku Klux Klan and other zealous nativists who believed that Catholic immigrants threatened to bring bolshevism to America after World War I. Grand Dragon Fred Gifford, a chief advocate of the school statute, believed that “the American public school, non-partisan, non-sectarian, efficient, [and] democratic,” was “for all the children of all the people.”   
  
  Bigotry,  Support it,  be a bigot.
