American Government all become exercises in change: events are redefined to show racism, intolerance, oppression and injustice. Despite written university policies to the contrary, course syllabi are filled with far-left values judgments, false "facts" and twisted outcomes designed to prove systemic racism, sexism and injustice. Required reading for the course often consists only of texts written by the instructor him-or her-self or those with identical viewpoints and cites false research designed only to support the foregone conclusions. In these universities, because so many on faculties in the liberal arts schools agree with these false constructs, a student has very little recourse no matter how vehemently they disagree with the course materials.

Reviewing course offerings at the universities, the authors quote obvious bias in such study areas as Black Studies, Feminist Studies, Gender Identity Studies and History with the psychology and sociology fields heavily represented. Examples given of "social justice"-based coursework at Columbia University-the premier graduate teachers college- are particularly enlightening. The entire framework of the position documents at Columbia makes it clear that the school sees the education field as an adjunct of politics and the teachers thus trained are expected to become political activists in the classroom. Just seeing the absolute drivel that passes for education at these expensive universities explains much of the overt bias that many new teachers exhibit upon graduation. And, upon receiving certification these young teachers go to work for an educational administration trained by the same universities which will reinforce the bias in their everyday teaching.

Most teachers, after being carefully trained in the belief that they are to instill a Marxist-leaning form of Social Justice consciousness first and academics second, are forced to follow a canned curriculum that gives lip service to academics with no cohesive method of teaching same. The teachers union they are all expected to join adds even more "Social Justice" demands, leading to such monstrously illogical curricula as teaching kindergarteners about the Gay lifestyle and terrifying them about the coming catastrophic global warming scenario to the
