5.0 out of 5 stars Not Just PC, Not Just the Campus, December 5, 2001

By 

Big Dave (Boise, Idaho) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Heterodoxy Handbook: How to Survive the PC Campus (Paperback)

This collection of materials (mostly essays, but also some parodies and, delightfully, readers' letters) from Heterodoxy is horrifying and invigorating. "These people are crazy," I kept telling myself as I read the book. "They need to be institutionalized."

But they're not crazy. They're mobilized, they're motivated, and they're out to get you. Okay, maybe not YOU, specifically...not yet. The essays in this collection reveal leftist individuals and organizations at work, putting their agenda -- the consolidation of their own power by the destruction of existing American institutions -- into action.

The title is mystifying. Many of the essays contained in this volume relate to American universities (one of the first redoubts to be siezed by the Raving Left). Others, though, deal with issues and incidents as diverse as fascist feminism's assault on the US military and a social workers' crusade against the "patriarchal" family.

Still, give it to your college-bound friend or relative. Think of it as inoculation.

This review is from: The Heterodoxy Handbook: How to Survive the PC Campus (Paperback)

Horowitz takes the current PC climate on college campuses to task. Read this book and learn about the mentality that shaped the Clinton administration, and how the same mentality threatens free speech in the future. This book should be required reading for every college freshman,oops, freshperson.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thought Police on Campus, May 1, 2000

By 

Michael Helman - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Heterodoxy Handbook: How to Survive the PC Campus (Paperback)

A perfect companion to Orwell's "1984". Horowitz does an admirable job of detailing the ever present dangers from modern day "thought police" at our institutions of higher learning. Recommended reading for all incoming freshmen.
