Introduction
American culture has a few depressingly familiar rituals. One of them is the solemn apology.
"Please forgive me, O left-wing guardians of allowable opinion, for I have expressed an unapproved thought." It’s awful to watch someone debase himself like that.
Which is what makes it all the more thrilling to encounter someone who stands his ground, refuses to apologize, and tells the thought controllers to take a hike.
That’s exactly what the professors in this collection did.
Each one of these people has experienced or chronicled what goes on at the mental institutions we laughingly call universities.
And each one has refused to apologize for telling the truth, being normal, or whatever other made-up offense got the shriekers riled up.
Note: one of the chapters that follows is not like the others. Since Jordan Peterson was coming into prominence because of the gender pronouns issue, and since there’s a lot more to the man than that, I thought it might be nice to highlight the actual work he does in his professional life.
One more thing these professors have in common: they’ve all been guests on the Tom Woods Show, my libertarian podcast that releases a new episode every weekday. I hope after reading this you’ll join the tens of thousands who make the Tom Woods Show a part of their daily routine.

Postmodernism is a very large umbrella term, under which several theories of postmodern theory are contained. Postmodern theory is now not a consistent, uniform set of beliefs or a systematic approach. Rather, it is a whole slew of sometimes self-contradictory ideas. Post-structuralism is one of them. But postmodern theory is characterized generally by a rejection of what they call master narratives; that is, those types of systematic approaches that explain or pretend to explain all of history -- like Marxism, for example. So it starts off as a rejection of Marxism. Secondly, it has a focus on language. This is where deconstruction comes in. I can talk further about that. And third, it is highly relativistic. It’s about relativism in general. It’s against positions that say this is true, this is objective. So it’s anti-objectivity and pro-relativity. That’s postmodernism in a nutshell
