Hey Folks,
As many of you know, I was working on an ebook for several months after work. Finally, it was released on September 1st, and the responses are amazing. In fact, within 48 hours of being published, it was rated #1 in the Education Section on Amazon. The title of the ebook is, “Please Enroll Responsibly: Avoiding Indoctrination at College.”
In the ebook, I provide real advice for parents and students on how to receive a worthwhile college experience. I outline techniques for writing essays, taking exams and even how to handle classroom participation. I provide concrete examples of indoctrination taking place, and I also offer a lengthy reading list at the end of the book so students and parents have access to more information.
Lastly, I talk about my own political transformation as well. I explain in detail how I went from a liberal community organizer to who I am today.
If you would like to read this book, it is currently being sold for 99 cents on Amazon. No, you don’t need a Kindle to read it. In fact, with Amazon’s new Cloudreader, you can read the entire book via your Chrome browser. There are also free apps on the landing page to the book that will let you read it on your mac, pc or phone.
I really hope you enjoy what I wrote, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
Best,
Lee

Thank you very much for a great read. I might not be your intended audience but I still enjoyed this book immensely. I have been subscribing to your YouTube channel and that is how I found about the book. Most of all I am grateful for being exposed to the genius of Thomas Sowell through your book.
Recently there has been a public unrest in Israel, where I live. The people are dissatisfied by the standards of living and housing situation in particular. However like in many similar occasions the movement was hijacked by Left-Wing activists and transformed into a socialist movement. Yesterday there were huge demonstrations around the country and one of the prominent taglines/songs was "Bibi (the PM) has 3 apartments. If he didn't have 3 maybe I would have 1".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Competitive_Enterpri… – how can I possibly believe a word you say with such corporate sponsors?!
1) I published this entire book out of my own pocket;
2) I no longer work for CEI, although I support what they do and you should as well.
So your entire implication is wrong, and your facts are wrong too.
Hope I answered your question. Thanks.
I am way passed college age, but I am deeply concerned with the indoctrination that takes place on campus as I have friends with college age children. I've been following your youtube postings for a while and I just downloaded your e-book to have another tool for the preservation of our freedoms.
I have just downloaded your book and can already tell just by your opening line that you know what you're talking about: not only did I obtain my BA in sociology (back in '93), but I got it at one of the most liberal (and poorly ranked) public universities in California, CSUDH, so I know of whence you speak. In addition to killing off many of my brain cells (none too abundant to begin with), my "studies" also left me with few job opportunities…and the positions that were available in my chosen field paid less than a living wage. Fortunately, I hadn't racked up tens (or hundreds) of thousands of dollars of debt, but that's the ONLY good thing I can say about the experience.
Keep up the good work, keep fighting the good fight, and keep spreading the word!
Thanks Lee. I have a 17 year old son and I'm sure your book will come in handy. I just purchased it and downloaded it to my Kindle for reading.
Keep up the great work!
