Dear Fellow American,

How is it that our universities, once the envy of the world, have become staging grounds for demonstrations in support of Hezbollah and Hamas and against Israel and America?

How have our classrooms become bizarre laboratories for radical feminists who insist that sex differences result from brutal male oppression, when neuroscience tells us they are "hardwired"? For Marxist ideology, when Marxism is dead and discredited everywhere other than on our campuses? For divisive propaganda about white racism when America has never been more color blind?

How, in short, did indoctrination replace education in our once-proud institutions of higher learning?

These are the questions I address in my new book, One Party Classroom: How Radical Liberals at America's Top College Indoctrinate Students and Undermine Our Democracy.

And I'd like to send you a copy of this book, free, when you support the Freedom Center with a contribution of $25 today. In fact, if you send a contribution of $50 or more right now, I'll personally sign your copy of One Party Classroom. Make a contribution of $100 or more today and I'll include a personal inscription as well.

I studied the course offerings of 12 major academic institutions, from Columbia University on the east coast to the University of Southern California on the west coast, that comprise a representative picture of higher education in America. And that picture is a more depressing than I could have imagined. I found more than 150 courses that were pure indoctrination. Here are some of the examples from One Party Classroom:
  • A "Whiteness Studies" guilt curriculum at the University of Colorado, featuring classes such as "Remedial Education for White Folks," "Whiteness: The Power of Privilege," and "The History of Whiteness."
  • At Arizona State University, the sociology department offers a course in "Collective Behavior and Social Movements" where students are given credit by the instructor for participating in protests organized by local gay, feminist, and pro-illegal immigration groups.
  • At the University of California at Santa Cruz, a course on "The Politics of the War on Terrorism" informs students that the Bush administration lied to make the case for the war in Iraq and denies that the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center were carried out by Al Qaeda. ("How did Bush and Cheney build the fiction that al Qaeda was a participant in the 9/11 attacks?" the course description asks).
I wish I could say that these are isolated examples. But they are the rule, not the exception. At the Columbia University Teachers' College, for instance, prospective primary and secondary school teachers are force-fed a series of books on "Teaching for Social Justice" edited by former Weatherman Bill Ayers.

By my calculation, there are some 10,000 college courses in American universities and colleges teaching students to hate America, support her enemies and work for a "revolution." Ten thousand courses devoted to indoctrination, not education.

But One Party Classroom gives you and me the chance to turn the tables on the tenured radicals who have turned their classrooms into indoctrination chambers by hitting the universities who ignore or enable them where they're most vulnerable - in their pocketbook.

The Freedom Center has started Operation Alumni and with your support we'll open the eyes of thousands of men and women who don't know how indoctrination is undermining democracy at their alma maters.

So with your contribution today, we will begin sending One Party Classroom to alumni chapters at schools around the nation and mobilize them to just say no to classroom indoctrination.

These chapters give their schools millions of dollars a year. Showing proud alums what their support is buying - hatred of America and the west; malicious fictions that encourage racial, ethnic and gender division - will get them to let school presidents and boards of regents know that they're heartsick over what has happened on the campuses that mean so much to them and won't support a curriculum of indoctrination.

So, please, make a contribution of $25 or more right now to the Freedom Center and I will send you One Party Classroom for free. With a contribution of $50 I will sign your copy and include a personal inscription if you send a gift of $100.

And I will begin Operation Alumni to restore intellectual diversity and free inquiry to our institutions of higher education.

So, if possible, make an additional contribution to help make Operation Alumni a success.

Thank you for supporting the Freedom Center. Together we will return higher education in America to what it ought to be: a conversation aimed at the truth.

Sincerely,

David Horowitz
President & Founder

P.S. Remember to tell us which alumni association or associations you wish us to send copies of this book when you complete your donation. This is a golden opportunity to strike back against indoctrination and hit these colleges and universities right where it hurts them the most - at the bottom line! Thanks again.
