Listen Later

Dr. Kenneth W. McFarland (1906-1985) was a teacher, public speaker, author, and conservative pundit. He was born in Caney, Kansas, received a bachelor’s degree from Pittsburg State College of Kansas in 1927, a master’s degree from Columbia University in 1931, and a doctorate from Stanford University in 1940. Eventually, he became the superintendent of the Topeka, Kansas school system, and was the superintendent when the Topeka Board of Education was sued in the landmark anti-discrimination case Brown v. Board of Education (1954). After Brown v. Board, General Motors and Readers Digest, among others, hired him as a speaker.

Many of McFarland's speeches were recorded and published as LPs by the Edward M. Miller and Associates, Inc. label from Grand Rapids, Michigan, which published LPs by many different conservative speakers.

This LP is a recording of a speech McFarland delivered to a Rotary International group in about 1966. Among other things, he criticizes the Supreme Court, singling out Justice Douglas, and questions the legitimacy of the civil rights movement.
