First published 2022
Charlie Kirk builds a case against American higher education in this critique of campus culture and academic priorities. The Turning Point USA founder argues that universities waste family resources while promoting what he considers anti-American values. Kirk presents ten specific charges against the college system, claiming that progressive faculty suppress conservative viewpoints and indoctrinate students rather than educate them. He contends that degrees have become expensive but worthless, leaving graduates unprepared for productive careers. The book targets students weighing college decisions, parents funding education, and citizens concerned about cultural shifts on campuses. Kirk draws from his experience defending conservative students to argue that the current system serves ideological rather than educational purposes.
