Facing Off On Political Diversity
David Horowitz
Does the quest for diversity extend to the politics of the faculty? Earlier this year, conservative author David Horowitz wrote a book attacking liberal bias in higher education.
DI: You have been called vituperative and bombastic for criticizing professors in your book, The ProFessors: The 101 Most Dangerous Academics in America.
DH: It’s written in a very moderate tone with even-tempered prose. My opponents seize on sound bites. I have to defend myself all the time, and a lot of the attacks are based on misrepresentations.
DI: You’re famously right wing, yet your parents were communists and you supported the Black Panthers in the 1970s.
