Coming to a Campus Near You: Terrorists, racists, and communists—you know them as The Professors.
We all know that left-wing radicals from the 1960s have hung around academia and hired people like themselves. But if you thought they were all harmless, antiquated hippies, you’d be wrong. Today’s radical academics aren’t the exception—they’re legion. And far from being harmless, they spew violent anti-Americanism, preach anti-Semitism, and cheer on the killing of American soldiers and civilians—all the while collecting tax dollars and tuition fees to indoctrinate our children. Remember Ward Churchill, the University of Colorado professor who compared the victims of the September 11 terrorist attacks to Nazis who deserved what they got? You thought he was bad? In this shocking new book, New York Times bestselling author David Horowitz has news for you: American universities are full of radical academics like Ward Churchill—and worse.
Horowitz exposes 101 academics—representative of thousands of radicals who teach our young people—who also happen to be alleged ex-terrorists, racists, murderers, sexual deviants, anti-Semites, and al-Qaeda supporters. Horowitz blows the cover on academics who:
Say they want to kill white people.
Promote the views of the Iranian mullahs.
Support Osama bin Laden.
Lament the demise of the Soviet Union.
Defend pedophilia.
Advocate the killing of ordinary Americans.
David Horowitz’s riveting exposé is essential reading for parents, students, college alums, taxpayers, and patriotic Americans who don’t think college students should be indoctrinated by sympathizers of Joseph Stalin and Osama bin Laden.
The Professors is truly frightening—and an intellectual call to arms from a courageous author who knows the radicals all too well.
The book is extremely biased and has evidence online that he manipulated facts to write his arguments. I couldn't finish the book. Many of the "crimes" that these professors have are just for being anti-war. Granted, some of these professors do seem dangerous to have as academics, but his writing is so biased I can't tell what's fact or fiction.
I'm not going to lie, I thought this was a comedy book with true stories of how professors failed to do their job correctly. Instead it'sall politics. I suppose if you want an extreme view of the conservative side, this is definently the book for you. Otherwise, don't bother.

It is obvious that many people do not like to have any challenge to the extremism existing in some colleges. Thats why there so many one star reviews of this book by people who obviously have not read it. While I don't always agree with the author's point of view, this is an intersting book and points out what one may be exposed to at colleges. Many professors seek indoctrination not education and free and open discussions of issues often are not allowed (if you oppose any position of some professors, you are considered a "hate monger"). I had a few crazed professors in the 1970s, but nothing as terrible as Ward Churchill or some of the others exposed in this book. I enjoyed the book and thought it was very readable. I do not think these 101 professors are representative of all college professors, most of whom are very good and seek to provide an education. This book does provide a fair warning for what is out there and takes the lid off of some often closely held secrets.

Isn't it true that, whether conservative or liberal, Christian or athiest, we all support the idea of free speech? But that doesn't stop us from screaming bloody murder when individuals exercise their freedom of speech and present their convictions, debate some area of thought, or disagree completely with our own deeply wrought beliefs? Horowitz has done his research and come out with some statements about university professors he considers dangerous in some way. It is possible to disagree with him without turning ugly, name-calling, attacking him profanely, or condemning every word he writes. How many who disagree with him have read the book and done as much years-long research of these professors--enough research to write a full book about them? At least Horowitz did his homework. And it's not like Horowitz has "worn right-wing blinders" securely over his eyes all his life. He used to be liberally-minded until he was convinced otherwise by his own reading, study, experience, and observations. He had to have made many bitter enemies of friends when he courageously did that. We can respect him for that.

Education used to be about academic rigor, the free exchange of ideas, logical thinking, inquiry, debate, and the use of reason. Recently there has been a trend away from these standards and a movement towards leftist-political indoctrination in the university setting. I don't see how anyone who has attended a university or public school during the last 30 years can argue against this premise or find it controversial. If you read Horowitz's book, you will see that his critique is aimed at the emerging academic disciplines--peace studies, women's studies, and ethnic studies--rather than the established ones like physics or chemistry. Also, he recognizes that all professors have their biases, which is fine, but they have no right to present their biases as scientific/unquestioned facts (when they are not), and to harass and discriminate against students who do not accept their biases. Horowitz picks 101 of the most dangerous professors, and describes why he believes they are dangerous based on their backgrounds and their beliefs in their own words. If you are skeptical about what he reports, look it up for yourself. Many of these professors are popular and world renowned and their writings are widely available. Some of them may sincerely believe they are pursuing valuable knowledge, but some, like Ward Churchill--an egotistical con man--are clearly not sincere. But time will be the true judge of these people. History has shown us that just because one is lauded in academic circles does not mean he has a contribution lasting and worthwhile to offer. Look at Margaret Mead and Alfred Kinsey and even Sigmund Freud. Consider the prestige they enjoyed in their day, but does anyone take them seriously today?

The university experience is a post-WWII phenomenon for us "little people." Before that, it was only the wealthy or the very promising to whom this precious opportunity was given. As with most things, making it available to everyone changes it to say the very, very least. The university system of modern times is a business. Nearly everyone ships their children, however thick they might be, off to get a first-class university education. These masters of SAT prep sessions and little else aren't going to line up at the Math, Science and Engineering departments so the Social Science departments are booming. Tuition funds pour in, along with alumni donations, state and federal grants and, in spite of Title IX's best efforts to the contrary, football and basketball revenues. A university professorship in the Social Sciences is one of the sweetest gigs there is, for the academic who knows how to milk it.
The university student enrolling in classes must rely on the university's materials in selecting courses, areas of study and the professors, assistant professors and teaching assistants who will provide instruction. Efforts to assemble a guide to faculty created BY and for students (and their parents) are met with academia's severest measures. Such faculty directories can not be produced, distributed or even possessed on any campus facilities (including electronic resources.) Horowitz's directory of the 101 looniest profs should be considered the first of many installments; a note of encouragement to student groups everywhere to storm the barricades and shine the harsh light of day on what their prospective teachers are all about.
