God and Man at Yale: The Superstitions of 'Academic Freedom"

God and Man at Yale: The Superstitions of 'Academic Freedom' is by William F. Buckley, Jr. This classic nonfiction work looks at the "progressivization" of America's higher education system, focusing on Yale. Buckley's alma mater. Reading this book you see the infancy of the decline in American higher education that has fully materialized today. The hostility towards the Christian faith, the acceptance on Marxist ideology, and the ignorance (cowardice) of the alumni who could have pushed to stop the slide. This highly footnoted classic now seems prophetic. 

Ratings: Adult - 8 out of 10.
