Reviewing Butler and Books
Abby and I went to college and started Veritas together. I made the cookies and she wrote a book about it. Ha ha! Finally,after several years, I've read her book. And it's good too. Sorry, Abby, for not reading it sooner...
It was interesting to read Abby's perspective on liberal academia, based upon her experience at the same liberal university I attended/am attending/hopefully will graduate from at some point... It was convicting to read how she responded to the staunch liberalism she encountered, to reflect on the various professors and classes I've had, and then to remember how often I sat still and silent. Thank you, Abby, for taking a stand, the stand I was too shy to take!
It's a handy guide on "How to survive liberal indoctrination at college." While it may not apply to every university situation, I would definitely recommend it to any highschool senior intending to attend a secular university, especially if they're from a conservative background. Why? Because Abby presents the case the all the prep in prep-school can't prepare you for the intense defense Christians have to play at college. Abby's talented writing style is easy to read, humorous, and to the point. If you've ever read Lori Borgman's column in the Monday paper, you'll know what I'm talking about.
I always thought Abby had a particularly bad experience at Butler, but now I'm wondering if maybe I just had a particularly good one.
