When parents send their children off to college, mom and dad hope they'll return more cultivated, knowledgeable, and astute-able to see issues from all points of view. But, according to Ben Shapiro, there's only one view allowed on most college campuses: a rabid brand of liberalism that must be swallowed hook, line, and sinker. In this explosive expos,̌ Ben Shapiro, a recent UCLA graduate, reveals how America's university system is one of the largest brainwashing machines on the planet. Examining this nationwide problem from firsthand experience, Shapiro shows how the leftists who dominate the universities-from the administration to the student government, from the professors to the student media-use their power to mold impressionable minds. Fresh and bitterly funny, this book proves that the universities, far from being a place for open discussion, are really dungeons of the mind that indoctrinate students to become socialists, atheists, race-baiters, and narcissists.… (more)

His points are very clear and concise. However, it would be refreshing if the underrepresented views of others were brought to light and not just his own underrepresented views. ( )

A bit dated now, but lots of examples of bias and hypocrisy in the university system. ( )

Strangely enough, I don't take umbrage with some of the quotations from leftist professors that readers are clearly intended to take; overall, I enjoyed it. Shapiro was very quick-witted. He's an editorialist at heart, but I'd like to see what he would do with a less editorial-styled piece. The book makes me extremely happy with my St. John's College education particularly when compared with the average college university experience that he speaks to. The book contains no surprises. I would have given it three and a half to four stars but for the second half not being nearly as engaging or enjoyable as the first. ( )
