Early life and career

David Horowitz was born in 1939 to a Jewish family in Forest Hills, a neighborhood of the New York City borough of Queens. PLEASE TAKE NOTE************ Forest Hills is a neighborhood in the central part of the New York City borough of Queens. His parents, Phil and Blanche Horowitz, were school teachers in nearby Sunnyside Gardens. Sunnyside Gardens, in the Sunnyside neighborhood of the New York City borough of Queens, was one of the first developments to incorporate the "superblock" Horowitz attended Columbia University, receiving a BA in 1959 with a major in English, and later the University of California, Berkeley, where he received a master's degree in English literature. Columbia University is a private University in the United States and a member of the Ivy League. The University of California Berkeley (also referred to as Cal, Berkeley and UC Berkeley) is a major research university located in Berkeley

His parents were long-standing members of the Communist Party. The Communist Party of the United States of America ( CPUSA) is a Marxist-Leninist Political party in the United States. While still identifying as a Marxist, Horowitz, along with many other left wing figures of his generation, sought to distance himself from the Soviet Union. Marxism is the political philosophy and practice derived from the work of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR was a constitutionally Socialist state that existed in Eurasia from 1922 to 1991 Horowitz was employed during the 1960s as a political aide to Bertrand Russell. Bertrand Arthur William Russell 3rd Earl Russell, OM, FRS (18 May 1872 – 2 February 1970 was a British Philosopher, Historian ^[2] Horowitz at this time was a close friend and associate of Marxist historian Isaac Deutscher. Isaac Deutscher (b 3 April 1907 &ndash 19 August 1967) was a British journalist historian and political activist of Polish Horowitz wrote a biography of Deutscher in 1971. ^[3]

After returning to the U. S. in 1968 Horowitz wrote several books that were influential in New Left critiques of American society and particularly its foreign policy, including The Free World Colossus: A Critique of American Foreign Policy in the Cold War. The foreign policy of the United States is highly influential on the world stage as it is a Superpower. Horowitz was an editor at the influential New Left magazine, Ramparts. Ramparts was an American political and literary magazine published from 1962 through 1975

Horowitz was a confidant of Black Panthers leader Huey P. Newton, and provided legal and financial assistance to the black revolutionary organization. The Black Panther Party (originally the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense) was a Marxist / Maoist African-American organization established Huey Percy Newton ( February 17, 1942 – August 22, 1989) was co-founder and leader of the Black Panther Party for Self Defense He would later cite experiences with his involvement in the Panthers as the primary catalyst for reassessing his views. In December 1974, his close friend Betty Van Patter, a bookkeeper for the Panthers, was murdered. Betty Van Patter ( c1932 &ndash December 13, 1974) was a Bookkeeper for the Black Panther Party who was beaten and murdered ^[4] While the case officially went unsolved, Horowitz has maintained that the Panthers were responsible for her murder, which, he alleges, they committed in order to silence Van Patter from revealing the organization's financial corruption, and thereafter covered up the killing.

Other events that Horowitz cites as being influential in his political realignment were the impacts of the U.S. loss in the Vietnam War on the peoples of Indochina, and particularly Cambodia, which under the leadership of the Khmer Rouge experienced mass terror and famine, leading to millions of deaths. The Fall of Saigon (in Vietnamese: Sự kiện 30 tháng 4 - April 30 Incident; Giải phóng miền Nam - The liberation of the south The Vietnam War, also known as the Second Indochina War, or the Vietnam Conflict, occurred in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia Indochina, or the Indochinese Peninsula, is a region in Southeast Asia. The Kingdom of Cambodia ( formerly known as Kampuchea (, transliterated: Preăh Réachéanachâkr Kâmpŭchea) is a country in South East Democratic Kampuchea (កម្ពុជាប្រជាធិបតេយ្យ (Kampuchéa Démocratique Vietnamese: Kampuchea Dân chủ) was a The Khmer Rouge (ខ្មែរក្រហម Kmae Krɑhɑɑm was the Communist ruling political party of Cambodia &mdashwhich it renamed Fear is an Emotional response to Threats and Danger. It is a basic survival mechanism occurring in response to a specific Stimulus, such as A famine is a widespread shortage of food that may apply to any Faunal species which phenomenon is usually accompanied by regional Malnutrition, Starvation Horowitz believes that the far left turned a blind eye to such atrocities because the ideological vision of the Communists was one which they shared.

Along with close associate Peter Collier, Horowitz hosted a 1987 "Second Thoughts Conference" in Washington, D.C., described by liberal journalist Sidney Blumenthal in The Washington Post as his "coming out" as a supporter of the right. Peter Collier was the founding publisher of Encounter Books in California Washington DC ( formally the District of Columbia and commonly referred to as Washington, the District, or simply D Sidney Blumenthal (born November 6, 1948) is a former aide to President Bill Clinton and a widely published American journalist especially on American The Washington Post is the largest and most circulated Newspaper in Washington D According to attendee Alexander Cockburn, at that conference Horowitz recounted that his communist parents had not permitted him or his sister to watch Doris Day and Rock Hudson movies and instead had required them to watch celebratory films about the Soviet Union. Alexander Claud Cockburn (ˈkoʊbɚn koh-burn born 6 June 1941 is an Irish-American political Journalist. [3] His gradual shift to the right has been recounted in a series of memoirs and retrospectives, culminating in 1996's Radical Son: A Generational Odyssey.

Activism on the right

Growing out of their increasing "second thoughts", Horowitz and Collier committed to a new cause, opposing what they assert is a baby boomer new left status quo in academia. Baby boomer is a term used to describe a person who was born during the Post-World War II baby boom between 1946 and 1964 Peter Collier wrote that, "there was only one antidote for the new orthodoxy: Heterodoxy". Peter Collier was the founding publisher of Encounter Books in California ^[5] In 1992, the same year as the election of President Bill Clinton, Heterodoxy magazine was founded. The United States presidential elections of 1992 featured a battle between incumbent President, Republican George H The President of the United States is the Head of state and Head of government of the United States and is the highest political official in United States by William Jefferson "Bill" Clinton (born William Jefferson Blythe III, August 19 1946 served as the forty-second President of the United States The David Horowitz Freedom Center is a Conservative foundation founded in 1988 by political activist David Horowitz and his long-time collaborator co-author and

Horowitz became an opponent of affirmative action policies, as well as reparations for slavery. Affirmative action in the United States|Employment equity (Canada|Reservation in India|Numerus clausus The term affirmative action describes many policies aimed at a historically Reparations for Slavery is a proposal by some in the United States that some type of compensation should be provided to the descendants of enslaved people in ^[6] Horowitz also supported the interventionist foreign policy associated with the "neoconservatives", a label that Horowitz rejects as a smear. Neoconservatism (or Neocon is a Right-wing political philosophy that emerged in the United States from the rejection of the Social liberalism, Moral relativism FrontPageMag. com, his conservative website, carries editorials from many authors who were and are strongly supportive of the war on terror and the war in Iraq. The War on Terrorism (also known as the War on Terror) is the common term for the military political and legal, and ideological conflict and specifically for U The 2003 invasion of Iraq, from March 20 to May 1 2003 was spearheaded by the United States, backed by British forces and smaller contingents from Australia However, along with many Republican opponents of the Clinton Administration^[7] Horowitz opposed American intervention in the Kosovo War, arguing that it was unnecessary and harmful to U. William Jefferson "Bill" Clinton (born William Jefferson Blythe III, August 19 1946 served as the forty-second President of the United States The term Kosovo War or Kosovo Conflict is often used to describe two sequential and at times parallel armed conflicts in Kosovo: 1996–1999 S. interests. ^[8]

He has voiced support for the Euston Manifesto, but has suggested that it has little chance of reforming the Left and that its signatures have more in common with Tony Blair than with what Horowitz calls "the anti-American left. The Euston Manifesto (ˈjuːstən "yoosten" is a declaration of principles by a group of liberal academics journalists and activists based in the United Kingdom Anthony Charles Lynton "Tony" Blair (born 6 May 1953 is a British Politician who was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 2 May 1997 to "^[9]

Horowitz purchased, or attempted to purchase, advertising space in school publications in order to get his views and arguments across. Many of these offers were refused and at some schools papers which carried the ads were stolen or destroyed. ^[6][10][11]

In 2004 Horowitz launched Discover the Networks, a conservative watchdog project that monitors funding for, and various ties among, individuals and organizations supportive of leftist causes. The David Horowitz Freedom Center is a Conservative foundation founded in 1988 by political activist David Horowitz and his long-time collaborator co-author and Part of the motivation for Discover the Networks is Horowitz's view that leftist individuals and groups provide support, intentionally or not, for Islamic terrorism, and thus require ongoing scrutiny. Islamism ( Islam + ism; Arabic: al-'islāmiyya) a set of ideologies holding that Islam is not only Terrorism is the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion This theme is explored in Horowitz's 2004 book, Unholy Alliance: Radical Islam and the American Left.

An agnostic, Horowitz has rejected what he sees as the intolerance of some Christian conservatives towards gay men and lesbians. Agnosticism ( Greek: α- a-, without + γνώσις gnōsis, knowledge after Gnosticism) is the philosophical view that the While Horowitz disagrees with gay marriage, he believes they have a fundamental right to privacy and that the term "homosexual agenda", common among right-wing pundits, is an "intolerant" one. Same-sex marriage (also referred to as gay marriage) is a term for a legally or Socially recognized Marriage between two people of the same " Homosexual agenda " (or " gay agenda " is a term used by social conservatives primarily in the United States, referring to He criticized them for accepting the claims of the Democratic Party that it represents gay and lesbian interests, noting that 30% of gays and lesbians voted for George W. Bush in 2000, more than did blacks, Hispanics, or Jews. The Democratic Party is one of two major Political parties in the United States, the other being the Republican Party. The United States presidential election of 2000 was a contest between Democratic candidate Al Gore, then Vice President, and Republican George Walker Bush ( born July 6 1946 is the forty-third and current President of the United States. ^[12]

Academic Bill of Rights

The issue of "political abuse" of the university is currently Horowitz's main focus. He, Eli Lehrer, and Andrew Jones published a study entitled "Political Bias in the Administrations and Faculties of 32 Elite Colleges and Universities" (2004). The Bruin Alumni Association is a conservative group for alumni of University of California Los Angeles. The overall ratio of Democrats to Republicans they were able to identify at the 32 schools was more than 10 to 1 (1,397 Democrats, 134 Republicans, 1891 unidentified). With regard to administrators, they reported that they could find only 3 Republican administrators in the entire Ivy League. [4][5][6]

Horowitz's book, The Professors: The 101 Most Dangerous Academics in America (2006), criticizes individual professors for their professorial conduct. The Professors The 101 Most Dangerous Academics in America is a 2006 book by conservative American author and columnist David Horowitz. Much of his criticism is aimed at those who are critical of Israel. For a topic outline on this subject see List of basic Israel topics. Horowitz accuses these professors of engaging in indoctrination rather than a disinterested pursuit of knowledge. ^[13]

Horowitz and others promote his Academic Bill of Rights (ABR), an eight-point guide that seeks to eliminate political bias in university hiring and grading. The Academic Bill of Rights (ABOR is a document created and distributed by Students for Academic Freedom, a public advocacy group spun off from the Center for the Horowitz says that bias in universities amounts to indoctrination, and charges that conservatives and particularly Republicans are systematically excluded from faculties, citing statistical studies on faculty party affiliation. ^[14] Critics of the proposed policy, such as Stanley Fish, have argued that "academic diversity", as Horowitz describes it, is not a legitimate academic value, and that no endorsement of "diversity" can be absolute. Stanley Eugene Fish (born 1938 is a prominent American literary theorist and legal scholar ^[15]

In 2004 a version of the ABR was adopted by the Georgia General Assembly on a 41-5 vote. [7][8]

In Pennsylvania the Republican-controlled House of Representatives created a special legislative committee to investigate the state of academic freedom and whether students who hold unpopular views need more protection. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania ( often colloquially referred to as PA (its abbreviation by natives and Northeasterners is a state located in the Northeastern In November 2006 it reported that it couldn’t find evidence of problems with students’ rights. ^{[16][17][18][19][20][21]}

Criticism

Muslim Student Association

On April 14 2008, the David Horowitz Freedom Center ran an ad in the Daily Nexus, the University of California Santa Barbara school newspaper that stated, "the Muslim Student Association is a radical political group that was founded by members of the Muslim Brotherhood, the godfather of Al Qaeda and Hamas, to bring the jihad into the heart of American higher education. The Daily Nexus is the university Newspaper for the campus of the University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB The University of California Santa Barbara ( UCSB) is a selective research-oriented public university located on the Pacific Ocean in Santa Barbara County California The Muslim Students' Association, or Muslim Student Union, of the U Al-Qaeda, alternatively spelled al-Qaida, al-Qa`ida or al-Qa`idah, ( Arabic:; ar-Latn ''al-qāʿidah'' Translation: The Ḥamas (ar حركة حماس acronym ar حركة المقاومة "^[22] The Nexus editor stated that Horowitz's ad, while not necessarily the view of the newspaper's staff, was a protected form of free speech and the paper's advertising representatives continued to accept other Horowitz ads. Meanwhile, the GW Hatchet at George Washington University apologized for running Horowitz's ad,^[23] noting that it will "provide more stringent guidelines for advertisements. "^[24] Aharon Morris, a member of the UC Santa Barbara chapter of MSA, gave a statement that ran the next day saying, “The underlying [message] is an ambiguous and perceived threat of a UCSB group being a terrorist organization. The ad is not only hurtful but threatening and could incite violence on campus. As a Muslim organization we should be concerned for students and the entire community. It is frightening and upsetting. ” David Horowitz responded in another article by arguing that UCSB's MSA denied that MSA is acting as a support for the jihad network, but, at the same time, he refuses to condemn the genocidal incitements and actions of Hamas and Iran" because MSA refused to sign a petition created by Horowitz himself. ^[25] Critics of such "widespread practice of expecting Muslims to condemn other Muslims" view the matter as feeding "cultural double standards," in that "it is not common for non-Muslims to be expected to condemn anything, especially if the group whose condemnation is sought pertains to Palestine/Israel," as it is not "common to expect Zionists to condemn what is done “in the name of” Zionism or Judaism, or to condemn any related groups or individuals. History of Zionism|Timeline of Zionism|World Zionist Organization|Zionist political violence Zionism is an international political movement that originally supported the Judaism (from the Greek Ioudaïsmos, derived from the Hebrew יהודה Yehudah, " Judah " in Hebrew יַהֲדוּת Yahedut "^[26]

Academia

Some stories Horowitz has used as evidence that U. S. colleges and universities are bastions of liberal indoctrination have been disputed. ^[27] For example, Horowitz told the story of a University of Northern Colorado student who received a failing grade on a final exam for refusing to write an essay arguing that George W. The University of Northern Colorado, often called UNC or Northern Colorado is a coeducational public institution of higher education and research located in Greeley Bush is a war criminal. War crimes are "violations of the laws or customs of war" including but not limited to "murder the ill-treatment or deportation of civilian residents of an occupied ^[28][29] A spokeswoman for the university said that the test question was not as described by Horowitz and that there were non-political reasons for the grade, which was not an F. ^[30] Horowitz responded that the student had indeed received an "F" on the exam but had appealed her grade on the course and been awarded a "B", and that the questions as supplied by UNC were evidence of indoctrination, not education, as claimed. ^[31][32]

Horowitz also claimed that a Pennsylvania State University biology professor showed his students the film Fahrenheit 9/11 just before the 2004 election in an attempt to influence their votes. The Pennsylvania State University (commonly known as Penn State) is a state-related, land-grant, space grant public research University Fahrenheit 9/11 is an award-winning 2004 Documentary Film by American filmmaker Michael Moore which takes a critical look The United States presidential election of 2004 was held on Tuesday November 2, 2004, to elect the President of the United States. ^[33][34] Horowitz later acknowledged that he had not been able to confirm this story. ^[35][36]

In 2006, Front Page Magazine accused a Brandeis University Professor of including anti-American bias in his classroom. The Justice, one of the University's independent student newspapers, discovered that the article lacked significant evidence, and questioned much of the writer's sources. The Front Page Magazine article also failed to attribute quotes and information that it lifted from the Justice.

Finally, Horowitz has referred to the case of a student named Ahmad al-Qloushi, whose professor allegedly responded to an "irrational[ly]" "pro-American" essay by failing him and threatening to visit the Dean of International Admissions (who had the power to take away student visas) to make sure he received regular psychological treatment. ^[37][38] His professor admits suggesting al-Qloushi visit a counselor, but for anxiety resulting from events that had happened to al-Qloushi in Kuwait 10 years before rather than for his politics, and denies mentioning the Dean. The State of Kuwait ( دولة الكويت IPA [dawlatt̪ alkuwajt̪]) is a sovereign Arab Emirate on the coast of the Persian Gulf, enclosed ^{[39][40][41][42]}

Horowitz has also come under fire for material in his books, particularly The Professors. The Professors The 101 Most Dangerous Academics in America is a 2006 book by conservative American author and columnist David Horowitz. ^[43][44] For example, the liberal group Media Matters for America claims that only 48 of the 100 (not 101) professors listed were criticized for in-class behavior and activities,^[45] despite Horowitz's claim that he makes "a very clear distinction between what's done in the classroom" and "what professors say as citizens. Media Matters for America (or MMfA) is a 501(c(3 Non-profit organization founded in 2004 by Journalist and Author "^[46] The group Free Exchange on Campus issued a 50-page report in May of 2006 in which they take issue with many of Horowitz's assertions in the book and describe what they see as factual errors, unsubstantiated assertions, and quotations which appear to be either misquoted or taken out of context. ^[47][48][49]

Jacob Laksin has since issued a lengthy, three-part response to this report on FrontPageMag. com. ^{[50][51][52][53]} which, among other things, claims that Free Exchange on Campus misrepresents itself as being "disinterested observers". According to Laskin, "The groups comprising the Free Exchange coalition are chiefly distinguished by their partisan commitment to left-wing political causes and their support for the politicized and one-sided academic status quo. " Laskin cites member organizations, Campus Progress (which Laskin claims is funded by George Soros), the American Civil Liberties Union and People for the American Way as examples. Campus Progress, launched in February 2005 is an American non-profit non-partisan organization that aims to support the activism and journalism of young people in the United States who George Soros (ˈsɔroʊs or /ˈsɔrəs/ Hungarian ˈʃoroʃ (born August 12, 1930, in Budapest, Hungary, as György Schwartz) is The American Civil Liberties Union ( ACLU) consists of two separate Non-profit organizations the ACLU Foundation a 501(c(3 organization which focuses People For the American Way (People For is a progressive, politically liberal Advocacy organization in the United States. Laskin also claims the report "misrepresents and distorts the arguments of The Professors in order to attack the book and its author, and is not above fabricating evidence to make its case," and that while the report does identify some errors in Horowitz's book, they are trivial and "in no way affect the substantive arguments of the book or the conclusions drawn in the individual profiles of the professors included. The Professors The 101 Most Dangerous Academics in America is a 2006 book by conservative American author and columnist David Horowitz. "^[54]

The "blacklisted" professors have since criticized Horowitz. ^[55] Caroline Higgins claims she finds it absurd that she's being criticised for teaching about peace and social justice. She also notes that puts her syllabuses online so the students already know what her beliefs are. ^[55] Joe Feagin, who was criticized for his studies on racism and sexism, says that his conclusions are based on a 43-year research career in which he has published nearly 50 books and 180 research articles and asks of Horowitz and others; "What are their research credentials? Have they done 40 years of solid research on racial and gender issues?"^[55] Juan Cole, who was criticized for this studies on the Middle East, says of Horowitz; "He is an ideologue and he has a particular view of the Arab-Israeli conflict which cannot be sustained by anyone who studies the region with primary texts and a global perspective. "^[55]

Allegations of bigotry

Chip Berlet, writing for the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), identified Horowitz's Center for the Study of Popular Culture as one of 17 "right-wing foundations and think tanks support[ing] efforts to make bigoted and discredited ideas respectable". John Foster "Chip" Berlet (born November 22, 1949) is an American Investigative journalist and Photojournalist specializing The Southern Poverty Law Center ( SPLC) is an American Non-profit legal organization internationally known for its tolerance education programs its legal Berlet accused Horowitz of blaming slavery on "'black Africans … abetted by dark-skinned Arabs'" and of "attack[ing] minority 'demands for special treatment' as 'only necessary because some blacks can't seem to locate the ladder of opportunity within reach of others,' rejecting the idea that they could be the victims of lingering racism. As a social-economic system slavery is a legal institution under which a Person (called "a slave" is compelled to work for another The araB gene Promoter is a bacterial promoter activated by e L-arabinose binding "^[56] Responding with an open letter to Morris Dees, president of the SPLC, Horowitz stated that his reminder that the slaves transported to America were bought from African and Arab slavers was a response to demands that only whites pay blacks reparations, not to hold Africans and Arabs solely responsible for slavery, and that the statement that he had denied lingering racism was "a calculated and carefully constructed lie. Morris Seligman Dees Jr (born December 16 1936 is the co-founder and chief trial counsel for the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC and former direct mail marketeer " The letter said that Berlet's work was "so tendentious, so filled with transparent misrepresentations and smears that if you continue to post the report you will create for your Southern Poverty Law Center a well-earned reputation as a hate group itself. "^[57] The SPLC refused,[9] and subsequent critical pieces on Berlet and the SPLC have been featured on Horowitz's website and personal blog. ^[58][59]

Tim Wise, self-described "anti-racist essayist, lecturer and activist" criticized^[60] Horowitz in the left-wing publication, Znet for associating with alleged racists, pointing to his acceptance of funding from the Bradley Foundation, which supported the publication of The Bell Curve, as well for running a modified piece by white nationalist Jared Taylor on the media treatment of black-on-white murders.

Criticism of Ron Paul

On Glenn Beck's CNN Headline News show, Horowitz recently criticized Ron Paul's US Presidential candidacy. "I think it's very significant he (Ron Paul) chose Guy Fawkes as an image. Guy Fawkes ( 13 April 1570 – 31 January 1606) sometimes known as Guido Fawkes, was a member of a group of English . . There are plenty, unfortunately, libertarian websites which are indistinguishable from the anti-American left these days - LewRockwell. com and others like that - they are totally in bed with the Islamofascists and have turned against this country. "^[62]

In a March 5, 2007 interview in FrontPage Magazine, Horowitz stated that "Ron Paul – the only Libertarian in Congress – is a disgrace. FrontPage Magazine (also known as FRONTPAGEMAGCOM) is an online conservative political magazine edited by David Horowitz and is published He has waged a war against America’s war on terror, in lockstep with the left, and against the state of Israel, the frontline democracy in this war.
