Restore Freedom of Speech in College Classrooms?
Everyday in classrooms across America, college students aren’t just forced to listen to radical lectures supporting the far-left’s most liberal ideals, they are bullied, berated, belittled or forced to leave for disagreeing with professors’ fanatical opinions.
In his important new book, Reforming Our Universities, bestselling author David Horowitz tells the dramatic story of his ongoing campaign for an Academic Bill of Rights to protect students who want to think for themselves.
He also reveals his latest effort: the Adopt a Dissenting Book Campaign. Tackling syllabi and reading lists that don’t present both liberal and conservative points of view, the Adopt a Dissenting Book Campaign will assist students in petitioning their professors to incorporate a dissenting text into the curricula.
“After all,” says Horowitz, “Students can’t get a good education if professors are only telling them half the story.”
In Reforming Our Universities, David Horowitz reveals:
- stories of students, including a military veteran, forced to hide their conservative views for fear of failing classes and damaging their futures
- an insider’s view into how and why professors teach their opinions and ready-made conclusions as fact—to create activists rather than critical thinkers
- how students have come to expect the hostile environment professors create in most classrooms
Insightful and compelling, Reforming Our Universities exposes the underbelly of the academic world and just might be Horowitz’s most important book yet.
