Why Colleges Breed Communists

Why Colleges Breed Communists by Arthur Nelson Field, published in 1941, presents a critique of higher education institutions, arguing that they promote communist ideology. The book examines the influence of evolutionist thought and Marxist principles in universities, claiming that these ideas contribute to the erosion of traditional values and religious beliefs. Field asserts that academic institutions serve as platforms for indoctrination, shaping students' perspectives in ways that align with socialist and communist ideologies. The book also challenges the scientific validity of evolution, suggesting that its widespread acceptance in academia is part of a broader effort to undermine religious faith and conservative principles. Field views this intellectual shift as a deliberate attempt to reshape society through education.
