[Editor's note: The following interview was a WorldNetDaily.com feature in which WND invited Frontpagemag.com's managing editor, Jamie Glazov, to interview Frontpage's editor-in-chief, David Horowitz, about his new book, "Indoctrination U: The Left's War Against Academic Freedom.]
Glazov: Well David, we are both guests of WorldNet Daily.com today, but I guess that as the interviewer I will welcome you to WND. Welcome.
Horowitz: Thanks, Jamie. We both appreciate the good work Joseph Farah and WorldNetDaily are doing for the causes we all hold dear.
Glazov: So let's start at the beginning. In 2003, you initiated a campaign to promote intellectual diversity in American universities. Why was such a campaign necessary?
Horowitz: I had been speaking on college campuses for 15 years before that and became aware in the course of my visits of the extent to which the political left had corrupted America's classrooms and were using them to advance their political agendas. The left has instituted a blacklist – the longest most successful blacklist in American history – in faculty hiring, which has made conservative faculty as rare as unicorns. It has also created entire academic programs – Women's Studies and Peace Studies are but two among scores – that are not academic at all but political parties with ideological agendas that are anti-capitalist and anti-American. The university has become a farm system for the Democratic Party and the radical left.
