Not a Day Care

The Devastating Consequences of Abandoning Truth

De: Dr. Everett Piper, Bill Blankschaen - contributor

Narrado por: John McLain

What has happened to the American spirit? We've gone from "Give me liberty, or give me death!" to "Take care of me, please." Our colleges were once bastions of free speech; now they're bastions of speech codes. Our culture once rewarded independence; now it rewards victimhood. Parents once taught their kids how to fend for themselves; now, any parent who tries may get a visit from the police.

In Not a Day Care, Dr. Everett Piper, president of Oklahoma Wesleyan University and author of the viral essay, "This Is Not a Day Care. It's a University!" takes a hard look at what's happening around the country - including the demand for "safe spaces" and trigger warnings at universities like Yale, Brandeis, and Oberlin - and digs in his heels against the sad and dangerous infantilization of the American spirit.

Plain Biblically Based Truth

Read this book. It's great and insightful. It speaks to many of the issues our country is facing due to laxidadical parenting coupled with the inflated ego and narcissism of today's youth.

a must-read for all parents.

this book is insightful, meaningful and downright eye opening. this is truly a must-read for any parent raising millennials. it has made me completely rethink a lot of the aspects of how I've interacted with my two children.

Someone finally said it!

A perfect wake up call to the truth about where we are headed if change does not happen.

Spot on, SO practical and true!!! Read this book!

Finally someone has the courage to say what needs to be said without mincing words. This is a book everyone should read. Open your eyes and ears, people, stop being mindless cattle following the media andbthe person in front of you. We've all been given a brain, use it for a change.

A must read for every parent.

A must read for every parent. This book challenges the ways in which we have been taught to view higher education. It deals with the state of academia, and what is sold to parents as Christian college education. It considers the deep dangers of failing to discriminate between (and prioritize) the historical primary goals of a liberal arts education, being ultimately and in equal measures, the pursuit of truth and character, juxtaposed to the utilitarian materialistic focus that has decreased liberal arts education to it's current state of substandard scholarship, moral chaos and blind indoctrination.

Happy to read it

Choose the world or choose Christ, pretty simple. Brainwashing of young minds to believe the khaos of modern liberalism is the pure essence of evil. Modern liberalism has devolved into ancient luciferianism. The modern American public universities act as lucifer's temples.

The book comes from a fair Christian perspective

I am not a Christian, but I agree with the main thrust of this book. It is well worth the listen. I believe the author wishes to be fair with everyone and would not discriminate against someone with a different religion. he is mostly discussing the illogical of the new anti free speech movement, AKA label it "hate speech" then shut it down argument. He is promoting honest debate with courtesy for others.

I did not like the narrator's style or tone, but the subject is so important and the analysis so good I can overlook that.
Although I have been critical of some things the main message gets my positive approval. I recommend this book highly.

About Time

I fully agree it was about time a university administrator said this. I am a 20 year veteran so was a much older person when I started and then obtained my degree. It was amazing to me how self absorbed and unknowing the young students were being as they were indoctrinated. There were many who tried to impose their beliefs onto me and all were treated equally by me. I would always endeavor to educate them and was often told by these students they never knew or heard of the many counter arguments I made. there was even several professors who told me how appreciative they were of my presence in their classes giving the counter arguments they could not because they were afraid of losing their job.

A needed antidote to today's madness

Great book! I would recommend this book to any parent of a college kid. Much needed advice!
