Title: The menace of multiculturalism
First published: 1997
Description: In this broad condemnation of multiculturalism, the author works to uncover pernicious errors in the arguments of diversity's proponents and to sound a warning against the dire consequences for American culture if the tenets of "political correctness" are incorporated into our social structure.

Schmidt begins by exposing multiculturalism not as a movement aimed at expanding democratic ideals but rather as a crypto-Marxist political ideology that seeks to import Marxist concepts into social and cultural institutions. Subsequent chapters then illuminate a number of dismaying trends: a tendency toward historical revisionism in multiculturalist arguments, the sly linguistic maneuvering and limits on speech that characterize "political correctness," and the dismantling of the traditional image of the family unit - the primary building block of American society.

Schmidt concludes with a rousing admonition to expel from our midst the latter-day Trojan horse that is multiculturalism.
