"An admirably comprehensive guide to the Hydra-headed monster known
as 'political correctness.' Wilson manages to address nearly every
aspect of the PC onslaught. That he catalogues and dissects such an
amazing array of right-wing malfeasance, journalistic sloppiness,
and outright lying—and does so without descending to invective or
ridicule—is testimony not only to his thoroughness but to his
patience. This is an original, discerning, and extremely important
book."—Michael Berubé, University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign
"John Wilson shows in copious and devastating detail that, as
obnoxious as Political Correctness of the Left has sometimes been,
the Political Correctness of the Right is far more pervasive,
virulent, and well-funded—as well as virtually
unpublicized."—Gerald Graff, author of Beyond the Culture Wars
"This book should once and for all put to rest the peculiar
delusion that American campuses are being terrorized by
'politically correct' thought police. Anyone who's visited a campus
knows better, of course, but John K. Wilson demolishes the myth
with scholarly rigor and relentless investigative zeal. Now maybe
we can get back to the real problems of higher education—like why
it's becoming unaffordable for all but the rich."—Barbara
Ehrenreich
