“In a dictatorship, thinking is not only unnecessary, it is a handicap, it can lead to a criticism of men in power. But a democracy depends wholly upon a citizenry that can distinguish propaganda from fact, prejudice from reality.”

Rabbi Levi A. Olan. From “Religion and Communism in the Public Schools,” broadcast January 7, 1962
