One-Party Classroom

David Horowitz talked about the book he wrote with Jacob Laksin, One-Party Classroom: How Radical Professors at America’s Top Colleges Indoctrinate Students and Undermine Our Democracy (Crown Forum; March 10, 2009). The author presented a scathing appraisal of the ideology of higher education, based on a multi-year investigation of what is being taught on college campuses. Mr. Horowitz says America’s colleges are platforms for zealots and that students are no longer taught how to think but what to think. He listed classes held by professors with the intention of indoctrinating their students in their personal political prejudices. He responded to questions from members of the audience. Mr. Horowitz spoke at a meeting of the Wednesday Morning Club held at the Four Seasons Hotel.

David Horowitz is founding editor of the online news website FrontPage Magazine and president of the David Horowitz Freedom Center. Mr. Horowitz is author of many books, including Radical Son: A Generational Odyssey; Unholy Alliance: Radical Islam and the American Left; and Left Illusions: An Intellectual Odyssey. close
