PRAISE FOR

THE PROFESSORS

Beware the unhinged, leftist academic when David Horowitz hits campus. This book is a thoroughly enjoyable and useful guide to the worst of the worst in the hallowed halls of academia.

—Laura Ingraham, host of The Laura Ingraham Show

and author of the New York Times bestseller Shut Up & Sing

There are those who would politicize the university classroom and transform it into an advocacy center for narrow and extreme views. If we allow that to continue, we will undermine America’s ability to lead in the century ahead. David Horowitz is sounding a clarion call . . . Americans should listen.

—Representative Jerry Lewis

Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee

This is the story of almost any campus in America. Parents know college professors ‘tend to be liberal’ but they don’t realize how truly anti–middle class and anti-American they can be.

—Congressman Jack Kingston

Sponsor of the congressional resolution for an Academic Bill of Rights

"The Professors is a comprehensive and persuasive survey of the contemporary university. It demonstrates beyond reasonable doubt that political extremists like Professor Ward Churchill are a common and influential presence on college and university faculties in the United States. David Horowitz’s book should be read by every college administrator and every scholar who is concerned about the abuse of university classrooms and the debasement of academic standards by faculty activists."

—Candace de Russy

Trustee, State University of New York

This book is a must-read for anyone who cares about free speech in higher education. Horowitz does a masterful job of proving how partisan activists are masquerading as professional educators, and documenting the damage they are doing to the American academy.

—State representative Gibson C. Armstrong

Author of Pennsylvania’s Academic Freedom Resolution

"Articulate and fearless, David Horowitz tracks the anti-American attitudes and professorial abuses of students that have metastasized throughout academia. The Professors is a must-read, not only for educators and governmental policy makers—but for every parent with high school or college-age children."

—State senator Bill Morrow

Sponsor of a California Academic Bill of Rights

"David Horowitz has single-handedly done more than anyone I know to throw light on the political abuse of our college and university classrooms by activist professors who have been enabled to do so because of the incestuous self-selection process for faculty recruitment and tenure. The Professors throws a harrowing light on the decline of professional standards in our schools and the efforts by faculty with political agendas to use their classrooms for indoctrination rather than education."

—State representative Dennis K. Baxley

Chair of the Education Council of the Florida legislature

and chief sponsor of Florida’s Academic Bill of Rights

"Horowitz’s book The Professors is a must read for all parents planning on a quality education for their children."

—State senator Larry A. Mumper

Sponsor of academic freedom legislation in Ohio

With documentation that will be hard to refute, David Horowitz describes the betrayal of our young people by professors who are defiantly unethical and contemptuous of academic standards. It is a form of educational malpractice. We learn that Ward Churchill, the shame of Colorado’s university system, has his counterparts on campuses across the nation.

—John Andrews, former president of the Colorado Senate

and sponsor of Colorado legislation to implement an Academic Bill of Rights

"Academics on the Left like to pat themselves on the back for daring to ‘speak truth to power.’ David Horowitz’s The Professors speaks some uncomfortable truths to them—to those who run American higher education today. They will hate this scathing critique, but will be hard-pressed to answer his charges."

—Professors Stephan and Abigail Thernstrom
