Jamie Glazov’s interview about campus indoctrination with David Horowitz is hard-hitting and seminal.

Among other important topics raised, Glazov asks Horowitz why the nation has been so slow to react against university indoctrination. Horowitz responds:

Someone said that the reason academic politics are so nasty is that the stakes are so small. When you combine the politics of Stalinism – as Harold Bloom observed a long time ago, Stalinism is in fact the politics of the academic left – the nastiness knows no limits. Unfortunately, it also makes the stakes quite high since this is where all the poisons that have seeped into our culture – the anti-American, anti-family, pro-crime, pro-terrorist enthusiasms, the lack of respect for the Constitution and the judicial process, the hatred of religion – are coming from.

The poison, in other words, has long worked its way into the body politic.
