After 9/11, liberal professors and students faced an onslaught of
attacks on their patriotism and academic freedom. In a lively
narrative this book tells the story of attacks on academic freedom
in the past five years. It highlights nationally prominent and
lesser known cases, drawing upon media reports, university
documents, and reports and studies seldom seen by the public. It
shows how conservative attacks on higher education distort the
facts in order to pursue an assault on liberal ideas. A wave of Web
sites and think-tanks urge students to spy on their professors for
any sign of deviation from the new PC: Patriotic Correctness. Free
speech on campus is facing its greatest threat in a half century,
and "Patriotic Correctness: Academic Freedom and Its Enemies"
documents the danger to rights and looks to solutions for ensuring
and promoting the free exchange of ideas requisite in any thriving
democracy.
