  Dsouza
D'Souza's description of the events at Stanford is now widely acknowledged by both his critics and his allies as false, but that did not reduce its impact on readers who accepted his report as the truth.
D'Souza further claims that "Stanford provides ideological coherence to the multicultural curriculum by urging that texts be uniformly subjected to a 'race and gender' analysis, viewed from the perspective of oppressed women and persons of color."(70) In reality, Stanford urges nothing of the sort.
D'Souza's main theory is that affirmative action policies in college admissions as well as the higher education establishment's pursuit of a cirriculum that reflects some concept of multiculturalism, merely promotes ignorance and racism.

Cale that Dinesh D'Souza condemned Reagan's trading of arms for hostages as "a grave error in judgement" and "the most serious blunder of his presidency" (page 247 of the hardback first edition so Matt STILL won't have to read it).
D'Souza touches on much more than the economy, he gets into our weakend military condition, his vision to leave communism on the ash heep of history, and how the nation understood him even while his most trusted advisors turned their backs on him.
D'Souza's toughest argument for me to accept is his thesis that the growing economy under President Clinton was due to the policies of President Reagan--that economic policies take eight years to kick in.

D'Souza argues that the poor performance of African Americans in competition with other groups in the U.S. is for the most part not due to white racism.

He maintains that there are cultural differences that account for distinct levels of achievement among races, and that racism cannot be blamed for "fl failure."
