What reading level is Truth a Civic Virtue book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The 12 Cw a Cfttc Virtue newspapers and magazines make their profit \ in stimulating the mistakes which lead to savagery. Politicians find that they lose ^^ votes by trying to correct the error and gain votes by encouraging it. The blind are lead- ers of the blind, and both fall into the ditch.
This form of self-deceit is perilous alike to the individual and the community. The individual gets the habit of disclaiming moral responsibility. He lets his own brain and conscience go unused so often ...that he cannot rely on either of them as a sure defense against overmastering impulse in grave emergencies of any kind. The com- munity is exposed to the danger that public \ affairs will be guided by organized emotion instead of by intelligence.
Under the influence of suspicion or emo- tion the public shuts its eyes to the truth until truth and falsehood become indistin- guishable. From this come Sicilian vespers and massacres of St. Bartholomew. From this came the Crucifixion itself. Jesus of Nazareth was the victim of popular sus- Cifcic Virtue is picion and prejudice.
