ILLIBERAL EDUCATION: The Politics of Race and Sex on Campus
by Dinesh D'Souza
From the book jacket:
Is Political Correctness chilling freedom of thought and speech on American campuses today?
Is multicultural activism splitting the university on moral grounds, creating not a truly diverse community but balkanized tribal enclaves?
 |
This book should be ready by anyone concerned with the American university and its commitment to the free exchange of ideas. The author illuminates the crisis of liberal education and offers proposals for reform which deserve full debate.

Based on extensive research at six major universities, Illiberal Education is a hugely controversial, powerful polemic that examines the most important and divisive questions confronting American education today.

(continued)
Dinesh D'Souza argues that by charging universities with being structurally racist, sexist, and class-biased, a coalition of student activists, junior faculty, and compliant administrators have imposed their own political ideals on admissions, hiring, curriculum, and even personal conduct, while eschewing the goals of liberal education.
 |
Illiberal Education is a pioneering work in an area that will torment the American University for decades. Sympathetic to the aspirations of racial and ethnic minorities, the author demonstrates how their self-appointed friends serve them ill.
