“You must read this book.” —GLENN BECK, founder of The Blaze Network "A voice of reason amidst the insanity and pabulum of the current generation!" —STEVE LARGENT, NFL Hall of Fame "Dr. Piper is a dose of reality in a world of college fantasies." —JIM GARLOW, author of This Precarious Moment "Dr. Piper is one of the leading thinkers in America. Everyone should read this book." —KELLY SHACKELFORD, ESQ., president, CEO, and Chief Counsel, First Liberty Institute What has happened to the American spirit? We've gone from "Give me liberty, or give me death!" to "Take care of me, please." Our colleges were once bastions of free speech; now they're bastions of speech codes. Our culture once rewarded independence; now it rewards victimhood. Parents once taught their kids how to fend for themselves; now, any parent who tries may get a visit from the police. In Not a Day Care, Dr. Everett Piper, president of Oklahoma Wesleyan University and author of the viral essay, "This Is Not a Day Care. It's a University!," takes a hard look at what's happening around the country--including the demand for "safe spaces" and trigger warnings at universities like Yale, Brandeis, and Oberlin--and digs in his heels against the sad and dangerous infantilization of the American spirit.

Arrested Development It's not your imagination. Millions of young adults today behave like children. Stuck in a permanent adolescence, they throw temper tantrums when they don't get what they want, blame everyone but themselves for their failures, and refuse to take responsibility for their lives. We used to write off their behavior as a "phase." But that phase doesn't look like it's ending anytime soon. And these grown children are pouring out of the glorified day care known as college and entering the corporate world full of infantile demands and expectations. A former university president, Dr. Everett Piper knows a thing or two about the ideas that motivate today's youth. Having experienced the snowflake mob's rage himself, he understands the threat that these young people pose to the rest of society. Grow Up! is his contrarian blueprint for a successful adult life. With bracing candor, Dr. Piper shares: * How ideologues disguised as teachers arrested the development of entire generations * The dangerous ideas in which popular culture and the education system marinate young people for years * Simple lessons for becoming a thinking, mature citizen * The qualities that made this country great and how to reclaim them Filled with wisdom and learning, Grow Up! is the antidote to the poison that we consume every day--a powerful corrective that shows readers how to live in truth and freedom.

In a delightfully refreshing and revealing tone, Dr. Piper exposes the potential fallacy in today's liberal academia and political spheres. He masterfully addresses educational, social, political, and religious issues that have shaped American culture. His commentary rhetorically confronts the reader to consider issues such as freedom, justice, common sense, human dignity, and moral objectivity. Piper is specifically passionate in arguing that postmodern political correctness is really nothing more than an unvarnished ploy to consolidate power among society's elites and to, thus, restrict the individual freedoms and rights of the general public.
