If you are scratching your head as to how radicals could have seized control in Washington, and of American media, while defaming American democracy as a white supremacist nightmare, look no further than the lefts transformation of American universities into ideological boot camps for Marxist treachery. Brutal Mindsis a model of clarity and straight talk about this national tragedy, whose destructive energies have yet to run their course.DAVID HOROWITZ, Bestselling Author of Final Battle
Much of university life is controlled by subsidized paranoiacs, amateur psychotherapists, neo-Marxist totalitarians, student affairs professionals imbued with authoritarian mentality, and racialist thought reformers who run workshops that destroy family ties and traditional beliefs to clear the way for new relationships grounded in racialist ideology. These are the brutal minds who threaten and abuse students in the name of an academic fraud called antiracist pedagogy.
In Brutal Minds, award-winning professor Stanley K. Ridgley exposes the dangers of radicalization, cancel culture, academic censorship, and the growing influence of socialists boldly transforming colleges across the country into reeducation camps of dull conformity.
An educational charade masks activities and ideology as dangerous as those that inspired Communist Chinas tragic Cultural Revolution. This book strips away the faade of the modern American university to reveal the malignant bureaucratic viscera inside the institution. It is a dark world, an anti-intellectualist sanctuary where brutal minds find purpose, protection, camaraderie, subsidy, and power.
Dr. Ridgleys book calls us to action to halt this anti-intellectual takeover of higher education and to restore the greatness of one of Western civilizations most brilliant creations, the American University.
A tale of how one of historys great institutionsthe American universityis undergoing an infiltration by an army of mediocrities whose goal is to destroy it as an institution of knowledge creation and replace it with an authoritarian organ of ideology and propaganda.
From the Preface toBrutal Minds
Praise forBRUTAL MINDS: The Dark World of Left-Wing Brainwashing in Our Universitiesby Stanley K. Ridgley, Ph.D.
A model of clarity and straight talk about a national tragedy, whose destructive energies have yet to run their course.David Horowitz, New York Times Bestselling Author
A brilliant and lively expos of how left-wing radicals have infiltrated American universities and are destroying freedom of speech and freedom of thought. Josh Hammer, Newsweek Opinion Editor and Host of The Josh Hammer Show
If the truth hurts, Stanley Ridgleys new book should be an excruciating read for the moralizing high priests of the nations colleges and universities. BRUTAL MINDS is everything its opponents are not: intellectually serious, scrupulously honest, and absolutely necessary.Lyell Asher, Associate Professor, Lewis & Clark College
This brilliant book is a monumental achievement, worthy of a place beside the classic work of Allan Bloom's The Closing of the American Mind. The worlds of academia and the universities that Ridgley describe are real and frightening. But his solutions are more than worth contemplating; they could very yet demolish the adversarial "Brutal Minds" in our universities and save our republic.Professor Jason D. Hill, Ph.D., DePaul University, Author of What do White Americans Owe Black People
