[QUOTE="froginaustin, post: 2963253, member: 785"] This author/speaker is, in my personal opinion that is not likely shared by everyone, in the shallow end of his discussion. Lots of assumptions that are very simple, and that work backwards from his point of view. Poor scholarship, I suggest. When he says-- [I]Because conventional wisdom today holds that the Civil Rights Act brought the country together, my book’s suggestion that it pulled the country apart has been met with outrage. [/I] His argument is about as developed as a stereotyped political 20-minute political stump speech. Maybe some head-nodding from folks that share his point of view, and eye-rolls from those that are skeptical. But "outrage"? He's giving himself way too much credit for making a strong argument to those not inclined to accept his premises from the get-go. Bemusement, maybe. But hardly outrage. Somehow, I ended up on Hillsdale College's mailing list. I've never bought anything from them, but I get a lot of promotional material for courses, books, etc. They are indoctrinators, sort of like a Bible college for a way out of the mainstream, anti-intellectual Protestant denomination.
