Illiberal Education

The Politics of Race and Sex on Campus

By: Dinesh D'Souza

Narrated by: Joseph Campanella

Length: 2 hrs and 57 mins

Publisher's summary

Throughout the US, the politics of race and gender in our universities are transforming admissions policies, as well as curriculums. This controversial expose attacks the wave of multicultural ideology, in one of the earliest, and most thorough, efforts to examine the rapidly eroding traditions of scholarship and reward for individual achievement. Dinesh D'Souza discovers in this firsthand investigation of today's campuses that the universities with the strongest multicultural agendas are the ones reporting the greatest number of racially charged incidents. D'Souza argues that the programs designed to foster racial harmony instead promote intolerance and have split American universities on moral grounds and destroyed the right to liberal learning.

An Objective Critique of Modern Education

I was attending a small university when many of the ideas D'Souza was addressing were being taught. However, I was fortunate to be in the company of esteemed educators who guided me through a lot of the misinformation I was being taught. Fortunately, I was taught how to think outside the university and not just what to think. I have been the better for it. Notwithstanding, a book like Illiberal Education would have been a boon to me and others if it had been published then. I hope this text becomes required reading for students entering our educational institutions. It will address the downward spiral of modern education in our private and public schools and universities.

from first one

Interesting, is a man of color suppose to follow a certain party line? And when does having conservative views and opinions make someone a racist? Anyways, I greatly enjoyed this book, as well as other books he has written.

ditto the last response

She sold me too!- she does seem a little confused about her three races, it seems to me. She probably suffered a lot! That white/asian/female racism is just rampant;)

Excellent book, bad recording

Dinesh D'Souza again hits a home run in pointing out the damaging practices of the progressives. This book exposes the racially discriminatory  policies invoked in an effort to reduce racism. In an effort to bring people together, he explains how these practices have the divisive results.

Now I can understand

anyone who has done any hiring at all have run into a paradox. seemingly educated people coming from college. now I have more light into why for the most part it better to hire ex-convictes from prison .they are out too prove themselves on merit and loyalty .as opposed to liberal ........

Smart

Easy to listen to
The liberal that was my uncle back in the day is that the same liberal today? No

Good material.. poor audio.

Found the content very interesting, but the person reading the book to us sounded like a computer.

STILL RELEVANT TODAY

This book is as relevant today as when it was first written. A must read for anyone, in particular, college students.

A dreadful recording

It was impossible to concentrate on the author's words. The recording sounds like the performance was done over an old telephone.

excellent content, awful audio.

Audio is terrible. Difficult to understand.

Content is excellent. Typical D'Souza.

How thick would one's ideological blinders need to be for the reality and common sense of this perspective to not be obvious?
