Book Overview

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 book, Ben Shapiro, a college student himself, 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.

Finally, a book that tells it how it is!

Ben Shapiro couldn't have hit the nail more on the head. Currently a USC undergraduate, I had the unfortunate experience of taking a class called "Media and Society." The class was required to read a book entitled "The Five Biggest Lies Bush told us about Iraq" and listen to speakers like Arianna Huffington and the filmmakers of the left wing anti war/Bush administration documentary "Uncovered". I left this class so utterly...

Shut Up!

To all the reactionaries who gave critical reviews to "Brainwashed": 1) Shut Up! 2) Your review earns an "F." 3) You need to be re-educated, and explicitly show that you respect Shapiro's value system and his plea for diversity. Just kidding! :-) But how does it feel? :-).I have just one quick point. In "Brainwashed," Shapiro notes that professors consider the New York Times, LA Times, etc. "mainstream" rather than liberal...

Wow

As one other reviewer has observed this book has struck a few nerves here.One reviewer states that other philiosphies have been marginalized. That is the exact point of the book. ALL other philosphies are locked out except the leftist/socialist/statist philosophy.As another reviewer observed todays universities are more like the old "Soviet Union re-education camps" than places of learning or "testing pre-conceived beliefs."The...

I just read this

Interesting book. I finished it last night and this is an enjoyable read. Shapiro is funny and his points are well made. I myself have spent a few years going after a graduate degree and having had my first 4 years of college in Japan I was suprised with American universities.There is a review below from a someone from Buena Vista University who makes a good case against the observations in this book. I agree with M. Steel...

Are you sure these people are liberals?

I find it funny that the author of this book calls the leftwingers on college campuses liberals. Many of them would be deeply insulted to be called that. In fact, anybody right of Lenin or Mao would be considered a fanatic by many in this setting and I'm afraid I am just mildly exaggerating here by stating that. Nevertheless, this book is important because it exposes a very real phenomenon and problem on our college campuses...
