Synopsis

When parents send their children off to college, mom and dad hope they’ll return more cultivated, knowledgeable, and astute—able to see issues from all points of view. But, according to Ben Shapiro, there’s only one view allowed on most college campuses: a rabid brand of liberalism that must be swallowed hook, line, and sinker.In this explosive exposé, Ben Shapiro, a UCLA graduate, reveals how America’s university system is one of the largest brainwashing machines on the planet. 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, this book proves that the universities, far from being a place for open discussion, are really dungeons of the mind that indoctrinate students to become socialists, atheists, race-baiters, and narcissists.

He'll describe the writings of a leftist professor, and then cut in with a jibe or......more

Goodreads review by Randee on June 22, 2017

Brainwashed is Ben Shapiro's first book (and the first book of his I've read) so even though it doesn't flow seamlessly, it still packs a punch. There isn't anybody since William F. Buckley, Jr. that I enjoy listening to more debate or give a speech. Whether you are a liberal, conservative, libertar......more

Goodreads review by D on April 11, 2019

It's heartbreaking how true this book is, every page is full of true accounts of violence and hatred perpetuated by the disgraceful Left. Nothing has changed in the 15 years since this has been published, and it sums up perfectly why I left Public Universities to complete my Masters at a true educat......more

Goodreads review by Jon on September 18, 2020

A disappointing and unserious examination of an interesting topic. I like reading reasoned commentary and opinion from smart people across the political spectrum, and although the author is both smart and opinionated, he has substituted a fiery rhetorical style for actual substance. He preaches to th......more
