Rand School of Social Science
From Conservapedia
The Rand School of Social Science, or the Rand School of Social Research or Rand School for Socialists[1][2][3] was a school for radicals in New York, founded by George D. Herron and his wife Carrie Rand Herron[4] in 1906.[5]
Early in its existence, it was touted as a 'Workingmen's College.[6] Yale Review described it as 'A School of Socialism.'[7]
In 1918 and 1919, during the height of the Red Scare, it was the target of New York's Lusk Committee.[8] It was defended in court by the National Civil Liberties Bureau.[9][10][11][12]
The school did not at any time have any connection to the RAND Corporation.
