Overview"American colleges used to be bastions of free speech. Now they're bastions of speech codes. Students used to demand truth. Now they demand trigger warnings. Professors used to encourage critical thinking. Now they encourage conformity. Make no mistake: this is the state of education in the Unites States of America, once the world's last best champion of classical liberalism. In Not a Day Care, Dr. Everett Piper, president of Oklahoma Wesleyan University, takes a hard look at what's happening at American universities like the University of Missouri, Yale, Brandeis, Oberlin, and others. How do we prevent all places of higher learning from becoming politically correct ""safe spaces""? Dr. Piper takes a courageous first step in Not a Day Care, a rebellion against the infantilization of the American mind."
