Reviews

"Mr. Schmidt argues that by importing the perspectives of the groups who have traditionally been marginalized in our society, we will destroy all the progress that has made America great. He is right to complain about the tendency of radical educators to playdown the achievements of the groups of whom they disapprove, such as dead white European males, while promoting beyond their ultimate value minor accomplishments of groups whom they favor."-The Wall Street Journal
"An exhaustive and damning account of multiculturalism's wages and compelling argument for the importance of traditional American values make this book essential reading for anyone concerned about our country's present plight and future prospects."-The Christian News
"How popular are D'Souza, Bennett, Brimelow, Sowell, and company among your library patrons? If their books fly off the shelf, this...will have appeal. Schmidt distinguishes between multicultural education, of which he approves, and multiculturalism, defined as a neo-Marxist ideology based in cultural relativism."-Booklist
"In [this book], sociologist Alvin J. Schmidt has produced a powerful critique of multiculturalism and unapologetic defense of an American culture based on free markets, Christianity, natural law, achievement and the "melting pot. He argues passionately that behind the terms diversity, tolerance, and sensitivity is a movement now posing a bigger threat to this country from within than Communism ever was from without."-The Freeman

"Professor Schmidt has amassed an immense amount of information on the crimes that are committed in the name of multiculturalism, diversity and related doctrines. Because it will make many well-placed enemies among its targets, this is a courageous book, and a useful, if ultimately dismaying, one."-John Silber Chancellor, Boston University
"This richly sourced work provides a comprehensive treatment of the phenomenon known as multiculturalism. Schmidt is alive to the ideological predispositions of the multiculturalists, and he details how much of what masquerades as multiculturalism is simply a thinly disguised assault on traditional American institutions and values."- Steve Balch President, National Association of Scholars
"Schmidt is concerned with more than saving a generation of American students from ignorance and delusion about their own culture and that of others. His stakes are even higher, because he knows that ideas have consequences, and he recognizes that, taken to its extreme, multiculturalism threatens to weaken legitimate American institutions, indeed the very mediating institutions of church and family that are the best hope for a confused nation to recover its moral and civic moorings."- From the Foreword by Dinesh D'Souza
"Professor Schmidt has compiled an absolutely stunning expose of the deceit, dishonesty and fraud being promoted and practiced under the names of multiculturalism, diversity and sensitivity. It's a must-have book for parents, teachers, students and others concerned about the social dynamite created by the 60s flower children who have made their ways into positions of power as school administrators, deans, teachers and government bureaucrats."-Walter E. Williams Chairman & John M. Olin Distinguished Professor of Economics George Mason University
"Academicians are notoriously sensitive litmus paper reactors to current trends. The going mantras in the halls of academe are political correctness, demeaning to many individuals of both genders, affirmative action, condescending to minority citizens of many colors, and multiculturalism, divisive and harmful to America the melting pot, which has prospered gloriously with a philosophy of integration rather than segregation. This volume sounds the tocsin for our land!"- Lewis W. Spitz Professor of History William R. Kenan Jr. Professor Emeritus Stanford University
