University + "Diversity" = Uniformity: Brainwashed, by Shapiro

Shapiro's Brainwashed is largely a huge collection of categorized (by issue) statistics and citations of professors and school administrators showing their hard-leftism and the overwhelming non-diversity of thought in the vast majority of American colleges and universities. It's revealing, though it does get a little tiring.

Contrary to what I'd thought beforehand, unfortunately, this is not an expose of UCLA; only parts of the book relate Shapiro's experiences there, though worthwhile parts those are. So the real value of this book is in opening the eyes of parents and students to what goes on, ideologically, in most institutions of "higher learning". The final 'Solutions' chapter contains what seem to me to be great suggestions for beginning to remedy the problem of extreme left indoctrination in our country's colleges and universities.
