John and Teresa's college book reading list at University of California, the bastion of free thought:

American Gulag: Inside U.S. Immigration Prisons, by Mark Dow, "tells the horrifying story of men, women and children detained indefinitely by U.S. immigration officials" and explicitly compares their circumstances to those in "Stalin's U.S.S.R."
There's Something Happening Here: The New Left, the Klan, and FBI Counterintelligence, by David Cunningham, "examines the bureau's massive campaign of repression" in the 1960s.
The Children of NAFTA: Labor Wars on the U.S./Mexico Border, by David Bacon, "paints a powerful portrait of poverty, repression, and struggle."
These and other books comparing Nazi Art with Jesuit art and so on can be found at Daniel Pipes site. Pipes notes that out of 140 books listed by UC there is not a single conservative book. If you are interested in supporting real academic freedom join with Horowitz at Front Page; give him five bucks or something if you've got it. He's doing something worthwhile.
