If Books Could Kill
The Controversial Book and its Impact
In this chapter, they discuss a book that offloads intellectual responsibility onto others and criticize the author for not specifying which professor should be fired. The conversation touches on the author's attempt to get a specific professor fired for referring to Catholicism as voodoo. They also question the anti-Catholic sentiment at an institution that limits the number of Catholics. The chapter delves into the topic of quotas for different religious groups at Yale and explores the influence of the book as a red scare propaganda that advocated for mass firings based on political views.
