| Abstract | This article brings together, and builds upon, previous scholarship on juvenile delinquency, motherhood, and education in 1950s America, and explores how the widespread contention that inadequate mothering was responsible for a rise in juvenile crime and social deviance helped shape the organization of schooling in the postwar era. In the first section, the author examines how experts, policymakers, and social commentators either explicitly or implicitly blamed mothers for the so-called youth crisis of the period, and shows that in doing so, they minimized economic and structural explanations for the higher rates of delinquency among poor and minority youth. In the article's second section, the author turns the discussion to the institution of schooling, and demonstrates that in the context of the national delinquency scare, educators in the 1950s increasingly characterized students they deemed difficult to control as suffering from emotional, social, or psychological disorders developed in the home. The author argues that framing student misconduct as evidence of a child's pathology caused by his or her mother served to both justify the removal of a growing number of youth from the classroom and rationalize the fact that a disproportionate number of those youth were from poor and minority homes.
