John Singer, Martyr or Fool?

Watner, Carl

SKOLE: The Journal of Alternative Education, v13 n2 p78-87 Spr 1996

Details the story of John Singer, who resisted Utah State directives regarding the education of his children for six years, and subsequently was shot to death in a confrontation with law enforcement officers in January 1979. Suggests that the State of Utah had little real concern for the Singer children but was interested only in confirming its power. (SV)
