(cont'd from yesterday's post)
In Tuesday's interview video, Peter Boghossian has the time (one hour+) to explain the poor condition of our woke elite universities from his point of view as an insider who spent ten years teaching at that level.
Freedom of speech, valued so highly by Americans until about five minutes ago, is not valued because there's an overruling agenda. Under the banner of DEI (diversity, equality, inclusion), no diversity is allowed. He says the intolerance is ubiquitous; it's practiced at all American and all Western universities.
It got so widespread and embedded because the scholarly peer-reviewed journals became intolerant years and years ago. Only one point of view could be published.
What should we do in America with an education system that has gone off the rails, that is impervious to reason, where craziness and madness (his words) prevail? He doesn't engage in wishful thinking: "Burn it to the ground."
