Review: Campus Battlefield: How Conservatives Can WIN the Battle on Campus and Why It Matters

Campus Battlefield: How Conservatives Can WIN the Battle on Campus and Why It Matters by Charlie Kirk
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Written as a challenge to the college academic environment regarding true acceptance of the exchange of ideas without limitations. Topics reviewed include free speech, academic freedom, cultural diversity, classical western education, and political correctness. The book's arguments weaken at times when personal attacks on different ideological values are done. The limitation of the author not completing an undergraduate degree or thoughtful critiques on a university's published core curriculum reveals a limited perspective and a political motivation to attack the "liberals" who are "placing western civilization at risk."
