An explosive new book revealing how America's university system has become one of the largest brainwashing machines on the planet has risen to No. 6 on Amazon.com's non-fiction best-seller list in its first week of release.
In "Brainwashed: How Universities Indoctrinate America's Youth," published by WND Books, 20-year-old college student and syndicated columnist Benjamin Shapiro says while parents hope their university-bound children will return as well-rounded adults, there's only one view allowed on most college campuses: a rabid brand of liberalism that must be swallowed hook, line and sinker.
Examining this nationwide problem from firsthand experience, Shapiro shows how the leftists who dominate the universities – from the administration to the student government, from the professors to the student media – use their power to mold impressionable minds.
Fresh and bitterly funny, his book proves the universities, far from being places for open discussion, are really dungeons of the mind that indoctrinate students to become socialists, atheists, race-baiters and narcissists.
Popular columnist Ann Coulter calls Shapiro's columns, "smart, informative and incisive.
"He is wise beyond his years without losing the refreshing fearlessness of youth," she says.
In a review of the book, columnist Mike Adams, a professor at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, writes, "for years, I have wanted someone to write a book like 'Brainwashed.'"
So many times, he says, "I have found myself walking down a hall accidentally overhearing some liberal professor telling the class something like the following: 'Transsexuals are just the same as you and me' or 'Marriage is a form of capitalist oppression, which is only beneficial to men. Studies prove it!' After overhearing such garbage, I just wanted to be a student again for a day so I could take notes and publish them later. That is what Ben Shapiro has done in his new book. It is simply classic reading."
