Brainwashed How Universities Indoctrinate America s Youth
Ben’s at it, too. With FACTS and LOGIC!!!!1!!11!
>Brainwashed: How Universities Indoctrinate America's Youth Paperback – June 14, 2010
>Brainwashed is the explosive exposé of the leftist agenda at work in today's colleges, revealed by firebrand Ben Shapiro, a recent UCLA gratudate, syndicated columnist, and one of today's most exciting new conservative voices, who's been on the front lines of the battle for America's young minds. This book proves once and for all that so-called higher education continues to sink lower and lower into the depths of liberal madness as close-minded professors turn their students into socialists, atheists, race-baiters, and sex-crazed narcissists.
Brainwashed by Ben Shapiro
Jimmies have been maximum rustled. If anyone wants to gift a liberal family member or friend in college, check out check out Ben Shapiro's book Brainwashed. Excellent read.
Near as I can tell, the idea of "Liberal professors brainwashing students" comes from:

What do you listen to? yourself?
Oh, my goodness gracious, there are literally thousands of articles on Google on this, dozens of books by conservative intellectuals on how leftists, starting with boomers, took over American college campuses and stymy careers of conservative academics.
They've successfully brainwashed generations of students - I was one until I got out into the real world.
If you're so lacking in intellectual curiosity, here are some suggestions:

"A good many educators take seriously the idea that teaching is a political activity and accordingly feel justified in using their classrooms as platforms for spreading their social, economic, and philosophical beliefs. They want to act as “change agents” who will improve the world.
Most of those educators have been imbued with a leftist cast of mind – hostile to capitalism, private property, and anything that stands in the way of their utopian visions of a just society brought about through government power. Instances like the recent ones at UC Santa Barbara (where a professor physically attacked a student who was peacefully protesting abortion) and Eastern Connecticut (where a writing professor went off on a rant about how evil Republicans are) are pretty common."

"Leftist Control on Campus
Overwhelmingly leftist faculty.
Overwhelmingly leftist administrators who actively suppress conservative activities and refuse to address grievances from students who suffer persecution for their conservative beliefs.
Leftist domination of most student government associations.
Leftist domination of "student courts" which decide issues regarding student government actions and persecute students for activities in behalf of conservative principles.
Leftist Indoctrination on Campus
Large numbers of courses presented that explicitly in their catalog descriptions push leftist ideology, but no balance of conservative principles offered in the curriculum.
Indoctrination of students in class by faculty who promote socialist ideas and other leftist priorities.
Leftist faculty using their class time to preach politics instead of teaching the topic at hand.
Faculty who express in class blatant contempt of conservative ideas.
Assignment by faculty of one-sided textbooks and readings which systematically push leftist ideas and denigrate or ignore conservative ideas.
Leftist domination of almost all official campus newspapers, which are funded by taxpayers, compulsory student fees, or unwitting donors to the colleges and universities.
Large numbers of leftist student organizations, supported by major, national leftist organizations.
Leftist monopolies of most journalism faculties.
Programs which present overwhelmingly leftist off-campus speakers to the students.
Overwhelmingly leftist speakers provided to speak to graduates and their families at graduation ceremonies.
College and university libraries packed with leftist books and magazines but few if any books or publications which promote conservative principles.
Compulsory freshman orientation programs and "sensitivity training" designed by leftists to undermine traditional values.
Mandatory seminars for students on how to have "safe sex" with little or no mention of the possibility or merits of abstinence or marriage.
Enforced diversity in every area except for the adherence to or the teaching of conservative principles."

"One of the greatest dilemmas facing American students today is the perennial threat of leftist indoctrination on college campuses. In recent years, institutions of higher learning – which have historically been places for enlightened thought and dissenting opinions – have increasingly become breeding grounds for radical liberalism. College courses, which are often taught by biased professors who espouse leftist ideology, fail to adequately challenge undergraduate students and often leave many of them woefully unprepared for the real world."

Look into Ben Shapiro's book Brainwashed. His strategy was to speak conservatively while in class, but would write his exams as if he were far left / socialist. His exams were graded anonymously so teachers couldn't single him out.

Pretty sure it's this one. The year seems right.
Analyzing gnzlgrc
Eh, I personally think that colleges in america are mass centers of indoctrination; I mean, what did we expect when we have majors such as "gender studies" "queer theory" and "feminist dance therapy".
Even though I don't agree much with Ben Shapiro, I am with him on every aspect he describes on this book.
And whoever said this (it wasn't Churchill) is still accurate:
