If you want an easily readable and lively couple of hundred pages on our cultural dilemma, I recommend Lynne Cheney’s 1995 book, Telling The Truth. In it, she takes on multiculturalism, radical feminism, critical race theory, political correctness in its various forms, and other postmodern trends that have undermined our cultural, political, and educational institutions. She demonstrates how the disdain for moral and intellectual truth have severely damaged our institutions and impoverished our people and she challenges her opponents to disprove her conclusions. A compelling read.
