by David Horowitz (Author)



Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
Horowitz, author of Unholy Alliance and founder of FrontPageMag.com,
profiles 101 professors whose politics run left of center (in many cases,
very, very left of center), and though his list is impressive in size and
the amount of research that went into it, the most egregious crimes
perpetrated by the majority of these academics is that their politics
don't mesh with Horowitz's. Which isn't to say Horowitz hasn't turned up a
few surprises: a Northwestern University law professor has a sordid
history involving the Weather Underground, and a Rutgers University
professor's early poems included lines like, "Rape the white girls" and "I
got the extermination blues, jewboys." However, his intention to expose
the majority of these professors as "dangerous" and undeserving of their
coveted positions seems petty in some cases, as when he smugly mocks the
proliferation of departments dedicated to peace studies or considers
"anti-war activist" as a character flaw. The only noteworthy point that
emerges from Horowitz's melodramatic finger pointing is his questioning of
the tenure system, which he believes "serves to protect mediocrity and
encourage incompetence." More distressing to Horowitz, it would appear, is
that tenure allows professors who disagree with his personal political
opinions to continue teaching.
