[edit] Racist
I just wanted to add in the dicussion that it surprises me that the fact that the readers were horribly racist is mentioned nowhere in the article.
[edit] Mcguffey's readers promoted anti-semitism
For a detailed exploration of this issue, see Chapter 1 of Henry Ford and the Jews, written by Neil Baldwin.

How about a link to the readers themselves? They're on Project Gutenberg in plain text, but pdf's would be better for this kind of book. (Or, a mention that pdf's do not seem to be on the web)
Not all references to Jews are negative. See "The good Son" in the Fourth Reader.
