The West's commitment to freedom, reason, and true liberalism has never been more seriously threatened than it is today by the stifling forces of political correctness. Dr. Gad Saad, the host of the enormously popular YouTube show THE SAAD TRUTH, exposes the bad ideas--what he calls "idea pathogens"--that are killing common sense and rational debate. Incubated in our universities and spread through the tyranny of political correctness, these ideas are endangering our most basic freedoms--including freedom of thought and speech. The danger is grave, but as Dr. Saad shows, politically correct dogma is riddled with logical fallacies. We have powerful weapons to fight back with--if we have the courage to use them."--Jacket flap. 650 0 $a Political correctness $z United States. 650 0 $a Freedom of expression $z United States. 650 0 $a Intellectual freedom $z United States. 650 0 $a Academic freedom $z United States. 650 0 $a Social justice $z United States. 650 0 $a Liberalism $z United States. 650 0 $a Conservatism $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Social conditions $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Right and left (Political science) 941 $a 4 952 $l JNPC081 $d 20231227013003.0 952 $l GKPC851 $d 20230228021026.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20201217010409.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20201124010753.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C15D23622E2211EBAE9AF43154ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
