1950's- crusade against Bertrand Russel teaching at New York University because of his "morals". He was going to do all sorts of horrible things to the minds of young women (who, at the time, were not allowed to attend classes there). This holy crusade was led by some Roman Catholic bishops if I recall correctly.
