This document, though rather long, is well worth reading. It is

Robert David Johnson’s testimony before the Senate Health, Education, Labor,

& Pensions Committee on October 29. Johnson is a professor of history in

New York City. In the document, he relates the difficulties he has because

his historical specialties are not “social” enough (i.e. concerned with

race, class and sex). It paints a dismaying picture of the spreading

ideological conformity in the American university.
