Martin, Jerry L.
Restoring American Cultural Institutions
In US institutions of higher education, «enforcement of political correctness has curtailed thoughtful debate about morally complex issues.... Gramsci's strategy to overtake modern industrial democracies by delegitimizing traditional values & institutions is described & compared to the "long march" of political correctness through US institutions. Gramsci's goal of a "new conformism," based on cultural penetration to ideologically assimilate traditional intellectuals, is being replayed on US campuses... Regaining intellectual freedom will require a persistent effort to challenge the current ideological hegemony by letting the public know how politicized many academic programs have become, & by creating alternatives to institutions & associations that have thwarted the expression of serious scholars.» [J. Lindroth].
