A new book explains how U.S. education's commitment to political correctness destroys free speech and its protection of our constitutional democracy. Greg Lukianoff, president of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education and author of Unlearning Libert [2]y, joins the School Reform News podcast to talk about how higher education, and especially teachers colleges, stifle thought and discussion and promote leftist groupthink, which in turn pushes progressive ideas onto the next generation. You can also read a review of the book, which discusses its implications for K-12 public schools and teachers there, in Defining Ideas [3].
