The classics of Western culture are out, not being taught, replaced by second rate and Third World texts. White males are a victimized minority on campuses across the country, thanks to affirmative action. Speech codes have silenced anyone who wo’t toe the liberal line.

Feminists, wielding their brand of sexual correctness, have taken over. These are among the prevalent myths about higher education that John K. Wilson explodes.

The phrase political correctness is on everyon’s lips, on radio and television, and in newspapers and magazines. The phenomenon itself, however, has been deceptively described. Wilson steps into the natio’s favorite cultural fray to reveal that many of the most widely publicized anecdotes about PC are in fact more myth than reality.

Based on his own experience as a student and in-depth research, he shows wha’s really going on beneath the hysteria and alarmism about political correctness and finds that the most disturbing examples of thought policing on campus have come from the right.

The image of the college campus as a gulag of left wing totalitarianism is false, argues Wilson, created largely through the exaggeration of deceptive stories by conservatives who hypocritically seek to silence their political opponents.

Many of toda’s most controversial topics are here: multiculturalism, reverse discrimination, speech codes, date rape, and sexual harassment. So are the well recognized protagonists in the debate: Dinesh D’Souza, William Bennett, and Lynne Cheney, among others.

In lively fashion and in meticulous detail, Wilson compares fact to fiction and lays one myth after another to rest, revealing the double standard that allows conservative correctness on college campuses to go unchallenged.
