Hardcover. The United States' education system, especially its universities, is under attack by the ideological Left, dominated by advocates of Wokeism and Critical Race Theory. Marshall McLuhan was a brilliant thinker best known for his insight that the medium is the message." Universities, as well as our entire educational medium including the K-12 system that feeds its graduates into the university and societal systems, are powerful and overarching mechanisms that we use to shape our understanding. For Western nations, the ideal of the university and of education generally has been to provide us with analytical skills, knowledge, and the ability to create and nurture a healthy society that benefits as many people as possible. That ideal, and the university as educational and social medium, is under severe attack. The power to use the university as an overarching medium that offers a strong sense of legitimacy to even flawed and overstated arguments and assertions is why the institution is a target of an ideological Left that is now dominated by advocates of Wokeism and Critical Race Theory. Once obtaining a strong power base in university disciplines and administrations, the revolutionaries of race, gender, and other radical interests metamorphosed from heroic moral beacons fighting and railing against injustice, and revealed themselves as ideological dictators. The truth is that what we now refer to as the Woke/Critical Race Theory activist movementparticularly that controlled by those who came to power in the past thirty years or sowere not simply seeking to expand the nature and content of the university curriculum, or even what is taught in the K-12 system. Their intent was and is to destabilize, transform, and supplant what is taught. They seek to create a culture that elevates their interests while aggressively repressing anything they see as an obstacle to power, including healthy discourse and debate. The activists of the Woke/Critical Race Theory Movement are not an honest intellectual movement. They are intense and aggressive political strategists, self-styled revolutionaries seeking to use our educational systems with the framed narrative of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) that is actually one of "Division, Enmity, and Intimidation/Indoctrination," all the while claiming their interests are benign and aimed at healing. In reality, they are fracturing our fundamental social order, sowing discord, and deliberately suppressing the freedom of speech and thought essential to the well-being of our democratic republic. Conformity Colleges: The Destruction of Intellectual Creativity and Dissent in Americas Universities understand what is happening and come to grips with the need to challenge, counter, and reverse this revolution." Nothing of significance can be done to stop what is going on unless the DEI administrative bureaucracy that now controls universities is dismantled or substantially weakened. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Marshall McLuhan was a brilliant thinker best known for his insight that “the medium is the message." Universities, as well as our entire educational “medium” including the K-12 system that feeds its graduates into the university and societal systems, are powerful and overarching mechanisms that we use to shape our understanding. For Western nations, the ideal of the university and of education generally has been to provide us with analytical skills, knowledge, and the ability to create and nurture a healthy society that benefits as many people as possible. That ideal, and the university as educational and social “medium,” is under severe attack.
The power to use the university as an overarching “medium” that offers a strong sense of legitimacy to even flawed and overstated arguments and assertions is why the institution is a target of an ideological Left that is now dominated by advocates of Wokeism and Critical Race Theory. Once obtaining a strong power base in university disciplines and administrations, the revolutionaries of race, gender, and other radical interests metamorphosed from heroic moral beacons fighting and railing against injustice, and revealed themselves as ideological dictators. The truth is that what we now refer to as the Woke/Critical Race Theory activist movement—particularly that controlled by those who came to power in the past thirty years or so—were not simply seeking to expand the nature and content of the university curriculum, or even what is taught in the K-12 system. Their intent was and is to “destabilize,” “transform,” and supplant what is taught. They seek to create a culture that elevates their interests while aggressively repressing anything they see as an obstacle to power, including healthy discourse and debate.
The activists of the Woke/Critical Race Theory Movement are not an honest intellectual movement. They are intense and aggressive political strategists, self-styled “revolutionaries” seeking to use our educational systems with the framed narrative of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) that is actually one of "Division, Enmity, and Intimidation/Indoctrination," all the while claiming their interests are benign and aimed at healing.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
While a Ford Foundation Urban Law Fellow at Harvard, he helped to establish the Law School’s clinical program. After leaving Harvard, he accepted a position as a professor of Law at the Cleveland State University where he created the nationally recognized Clinical Law program that provided civil and criminal representation to minority and economically disadvantaged individuals in the Greater Cleveland area. The work involved activities such as suing police who violated the civil rights of Blacks and other minorities, and serving as counsel for the Cleveland area’s Black on Black Crime Committee—a group of minority citizens seeking to come to grips with crime in their urban neighborhoods.
Following the model created at Georgetown University, he established the Street Law program at CSU working in conjunction with Cleveland Public Schools. It wasthe second Street Law program established in the United States. The Street Law program had law students teach legal knowledge and dispute resolution techniques to high school students in the heavily minority Cleveland public schools. He designed and conducted the training program for the Cleveland area’s Public Defender’s Office, created and directed the University’s Environmental Law Clinic, and supervised the law school’s externship semester in Washington, DC that placed law students inside Congressional subcommittees and the Department of Justice, and various non-governmental organizations.
He has also been a Senior Research Fellow at the University of London’s Institute of Advanced Legal Studies (IALS), and a frequent Visiting Professor at the Westminster University School of Law in London, teaching students from the United Kingdom, Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, and Europe. He taught human rights and international environmental law in St. Petersburg, Russia in a joint program with St. Petersburg State University, and taught in Harvard’s Intersession Trial Advocacy program. Professor Barnhizer has been a consultant with the US Legal Services Corporation, training civil rights lawyers throughout the US in critical counseling, negotiation, and trial advocacy skills. He was a consultant with Georgetown University, the universities of Connecticut and Minnesota, and Canada’s York University among others. He also provided consultant services to the US Department of Education, and was Rapporteur for the US House of Representative’s Energy and Commerce Committee’s high-level workshop on Sustainable Development.
