Ridiculous list. Pushes a bit of a political agenda, lacks teaching patriotism, respect or appreciation of US exceptionalism. I recognize having read parts of a couple of these but overall, nope. If my boys asked for a reading list, it would not include but one or two of these books and even then, they’d be down on the list. Okay, for disclosure, I did not go to an Ivy League school.

Oh, for God's sake! Augustine, Job, Ecclesiastes, Plato, and Pope . . . that's more than 5! Wouldn't you rather take your denunciations to the rock-n-roll threads when they start worshiping Prince, the Stones, and Bowie?

I confess that I posted this list because it includes Whittaker Chambers' autobiography 'Witness', a book that should be read by every American. The National Association of Scholars is a conservative academic group.
