Biographical NoteReturn to Top
The Extremism [in America?] course was offered to Redmond High School students from approximately 1968 to 1973. The course, taught by Ronald S. Green, provided an overview of both right-wing and left-wing extremist groups operating in the United States and abroad. As part of the course, students were expected to produce a research notebook containing news-clippings and ephemera related to extremist groups along with a brief description or comment from the student on the materials discovered.
