Robert Weissberg exposes the crude political agenda behind the 'tolerance' industry and shows why tolerance hucksters should have no place in the nation's schools. --Heather MacDonald, John M. Olin Fellow at the Manhattan Institute; author, Are Cops Racist? Weissberg explores the well-organized and well-funded campaign to use education in America, under the guise of promoting toleration, to teach students an intensely ideological interpretation of multiculturalism. Crucial to the campaign is the promulgation of a substantially transformed understanding of toleration that seethes with intolerance. . . . [W]hereas the old toleration asked citizens to respect each other as equally subject to the law, the new toleration in effect insists that they classify each other as inferior oppressors or victims made superior by their oppressor. . . . [Weissberg] writes crisp, clear prose that can be easily understood by any intelligent reader. --Peter Berkowitz, The American Interest
