The authors meticulously document the horrors of political correctness on today's university campuses. They argue that beneath the pseudo-concerns about racism, sexism, and homophobia is a drive for ideological conformity. The rules of campus life are no longer objective: how do you know if you are guilty of verbal harassment, for example? When somebody else's feelings are hurt by what you said; no evidence, facts or logic are required. Feelings and facts are essentially the same thing. Nor are you allowed, in many cases, to face your enemy. The authors show rational students and teachers how to fight back, legally and intellectually.
