Sorry for my bad English and thank you for this amazing video. It is happening in all western countries, I still don't understand why!? I guess it must be for political affairs, left wing ideologues must be very clever to be able to do this worldwide. Even big corporations pretend to have the same ideologies, like if acting in that way is a virtue signal. Identity policies are all around and there is no public place to talk openly about it, to talk about ideas and facts, not feelings. There is no such thing as closed debates.
Thank you Dr Asher for such a well thought out presentation on a most complex topic.
Whatever "gone woke," is supposed to meant to "the educated". Those who would happily drag us back to a time of good old fashioned pre 60s indoctrination and brainwashing. Where folk learned to shut up and starve. The problem with educating the poor is they will probably come back and bite your arse with it. No matter how many school yard games you play, it will not go back in the bottle.
I'm 51, half Spanish and half Italian. Grew up in the NY/CT area. I watched shows like 'All In The Family', 'Good Times', 'Sanford and Son', 'What's Happenin?', 'The Jeffersons', 'Chico and the Man', etc.
The message that ran through each and every one of those shows was that what you looked like was _irrelevant_ as to who you were as an individual. To see race/ethnicity first and foremost was ignorant and backward. The jokes that were made about stereotypes typically were either barbs between friends or a way of amplifying an 'ignorant and backward' character's views.
What happened to that world?
@@alvaroprietovideos The big clue is when he speaks about Socialism and Communism. That is the culprit for the mass dumbing down of populations. The idea is to control the masses. The dumber they are, the easier it is to do. In America the education system is a disaster but even worse-- kids with any spark of life in them are often medicated just so their teachers can have an easier time controlling them and their parents don't have to bother teaching them manners.
Beyond bad schools there is a major push to have all citizens take drugs- to be stoned and stupid. 1 out of every 6 Americans is currently taking a psychiatric drug and masses of young people smoke and otherwise ingest pot. There are very few "normal" and intelligent people left-especially around major metropolitan areas.
The de-emphasis on excellence helps to explain so much about how low standards are for people today-- from human interactions, to craftsmanship, to work ethic (in NYC in 2020 we saw saw thousands of morons collecting government checks loot and ransack businesses with so sense of remorse.) Useful idiots one and all.
This was actually hard to sit through without feeling overwhelmed with despair at where we are now as a society.
Its the new religion/social control mechanism. Its important to know at every point in human civilization there was a ridiculous philosophy ridiculed by smart anti social types. Higher learning is for sheep. Everyone knows the most successful people are self taught renegade types. You've got to mock and ridicule this weakling thought system and don't take so seriously human institutions or collectivism of any kind.
I agree. It might even lead to the breakup of the United States
I find it best to step away for a while just to maintain my sanity. Those of us who see the problem will be no help to anyone if we are completely wracked with anxiety and despair

Yes! I would love to meet that student. Yesterday.
They also ask you your race
This reminds me of the middle ages where priests were sent a list of questions to ask their parishioners, very detailed questions about their sex life and then basically prescribe how many times they are allowed to have sex. Pass judgements and decide what penance is needed
I have taught second grade, middle school, undergraduate, and post graduate. The level of corruption at all levels is just sickening. The general public doesn't have a clue how bad it is.
Yes but we are learning from this 🤔 and you know what? People are wising up and there will be a revolt on academia!!
I do. Do a city population count and then do an estimate of property tax per year. Approximation of people per unit. The amount of tax income is astounding. Before taxing business existence, small business taxes, sales taxes, taxes everytime one person sells a good or service to anyone else. Its just wow. And more. States and their “general fund” while stating they have no money for schools or city or state services
@@colorocko1nope, we are too far in
I studied liberal arts in the 1980's. You could have any opinion you wanted, so long as you supported it with 1)Facts 2) Coherent logic.
I even took biblical textural criticism, and never knew what positions on XYZ my professor held. They would teach both sides of an issue, and suggest books and authors championing each view. That seems fair.
Also, my fees and tuition per semester was about $630.00
Let that sink in.
Your first two paragraphs showed a time of reason, but that last part 😭😭😭
That is the definition of education.
The leftist progressive movement demands that you believe untruths. Trans women are women. Obesity is healthy. CRT does not exist. To object to any of these is to be labeled a heretic, and to face severe punishment. It's openly totalitarian in nature, this is the rhetoric of a fascistic ideology led by those who seek to destroy the concept of objective truth for the sake of their own power.
“Let that sink in” Is this the phrase du jour? I see it all the time
Pre government backed loans so it was obviously much more affordable because they didn't have an unlimited budget that comes from government involvement.
The quote towards the end: "The best program for social justice is a school that has a coherent, knowledge-based curriculum..." Truth.
"The best program for social justice..." is to reject social justice as the flawed philosophy it is, and fire or expel _anyone_ showing SJW tendencies.
Knowledge is power and the power brokers control through ignorance. They restrict the flow of knowledge, attack book repositories and warp the history or just don't even teach it at all. Most have to be their own teacher to get the full truth.
no such thing as social justice it is an ever changing mine field of emotions that can never be measured against anything.
The Left have done incalculable damage to education ua-cam.com/video/sTYlxBWokcg/v-deo.html
@@michaelbrown8441 only the way we think of it now. If you think of it as “creating a Just society” It’s a much more reasonable stance. Obviously that isn’t what modern social justice activists are aiming for, but the OP’s point is about actual social justice and not “Social Justice” which is more of a religion.
To quote my brother who was acquiring his PhD in the mid 70's, "In higher Education you assume that you will find truth, dignity and purity but instead you find deceit".

Glad you can see it. People I know are so far in, they may never recover.
EXACTLY> IF YOU cannot question an ideology it is NOT education it is indoctrination and it is a CULT
@@littlebird3495hitler youth wasnt supposed to be an instruction manual. Kids are indoctrinated before high school. My buddies kids in grade school, just wow as to what they were being taught in grade school
I've been a professor for over 31 years. I'm actually trembling listening to this video. He has thrown the problems on American campuses into sharp relief. This is a must-watch video.
My son just graduated High School two weeks ago and I had $30k saved for his college fund. We sat down and came to the conclusion that todays WOKE college institutions are NOT for him so I put the $30,000. In his bank account and I am going to teach him business as I have learned it on my own and my current career of Telecommunications Engineer.
I CANNOT and WILL NOT gamble with my child’s future by sending him to some University that has the goal of using my own money to indoctrinate my kid! It’s NOT happening!
I owned my own Communications Company for years and I’m currently THE Telecommunications Engineer for a local Government. I am more than qualified to teach my son the higher education he needs for a great future. I only have one child and this is too important to hand him over to people that simply do NOT care about him!
Word. Great decision IMO.
👍🏼
you're absolutely right!
That is the outcome of a child raised to believe they are the very best and can't lose.
So, when they are confronted with a disagreement, they lose their minds. To disagree is to suggest "they lose".
And don't go thinking this is a one sided, "leftist" issue. The very same thing could be said about those falling for misinformation campaigns. For some reason, they aren't willing to be corrected. They cannot be wrong. Sound familiar?
@@notrandom2 Well I honestly try my very best to make decisions based on what “I know to be true” not what I believe although belief does play a role when I can’t know. I made the decision that college isn’t right for my son using this method of reasoning but I did NOT impose my decision on my son. Like I said “I discussed” this with him and “we” came to our conclusions together in agreement.
I don’t act in a supreme ruler role in my family but I do use my wisdom and years of experience to explain the things I know to be true. We both feel good about our decision for him to get his training and career support and financing from me. I only have one child, one shot at getting this right as possible so I CANNOT gamble on so many unknowns and influencers that I can’t see or control. I’m not going to simply hand over my kid to a bunch of idiots with minds that are SOooo open they no longer know what a woman is or what bathroom to use.
I think all conservatives should try to be as independent and self reliant as possible.
I taught for nine years overseas. The only time I found it difficult to do my job was when I was teaching amongst Americans and Brits. For the reasons outlined here these individuals were so brainwashed and irrational that it felt like being back in middle school. The lack of maturity and the shallowness of conversation was shocking. This experience is what pushed me out from continuing as an educator despite receiving recognition from my schools as a top teacher.
ney i dont have a drinkin problem i drink i fall no problem.
I don't think Americans understand the problem in the UK. Their conditioning is near complete. It's a septic tank of wokeness and an unbridled Islamic free for all. F÷ck the UK. I'm from there; I know. Americans have cnn, brits have BBC, canucks have cbc. They're all cut from the same propagandist cloth.
In what institution were you teaching Americans and Brits overseas, and in which country?
Your decision is why we are in this situation.
What subjects were you teaching?
Just before 6 minutes in, it was stated that students can always drop a class that is more about indoctrination than education, but I could not more adamantly disagree. Often times, classes are required for specific majors with no alternative instructor or options that are any better. Even some gen eds are difficult to get around when the other options fill up so readily. If dropping the class puts the student behind on graduation, then that is also more time that they are out of the workforce and going in debt or challenging their ability to go to school in the first place.
Greensboro College in Greensboro, NC used to allow people to go to neighbouring universities/colleges to take classes if students wanted other 'option's for teachers. They caught on around my junior year.
thanks for ur comment
It depends on the school, most students don't want or don't know how to do the leg work to get credits without following the advisors plan. The advisor only knows so much. The one's that I've interacted with have had a standard take abcefg courses approach and students take course a followed by course b.
Most students don't take the time to figure out that in many schools you can test out of class b, d and f based on college requirements, you can pay to take the course a different University and transfer it in if the college is regionally accredited.
Most students haven't heard of CLEP or DSST exams mainly because the college gets paid by the credits hours you take there not the credits they assign for free for those type of testing out courses.
I've gaining about 27 credits this way taught myself the subject or gotten audio files from UCLA or whatever and learned the subject matter. It takes more time and is harder in many cases but it's doable. There are places that have an agenda in your education and it's not critical thinking but to make you a victim. You always have a choice when you pay for something to say No and ask the question what other way can it be done.
They are many alternatives outside of your institution, both in-person and online, if you encounter a class that is more about indoctrination. Have those credits transferred. There are many online universities. My alma mater, Purdue has a great online presence. Hillsdale has 40 free online classes. And what about the Great Courses, which are almost free. Professors who indoctrinate should be fired, but at least boycotted. Students are being fleeced for what is the antithesis of education, but many don't realize it because they are too naive to realize that many professors today have no compunctions about promoting their own left wing views to the exclusion of other viewpoints. On many campuses there are more Marxists teaching in the humanities and social sciences than conservatives or libertarians. I was a graduate student at Brown for a time and witnessed this with my own eyes. I went to greener pastures.
Just like Trudeau saying we weren't forced to comply with the insanity
I am an adjunct at a university, teaching math. What this man says is so on point. The education department is ruining my own department. Once we got more math-ed hires in assoc. prof. positions, we saw the woke agenda creep in. They are determined to ruin math by deleting any standards we may have had. Students have approached me to explain that the worst department to take a class in is the ed department. They hate it! The classes are not based in teaching you how to teach. The classes are there to teach you how to indoctrinate, while they indoctrinate you. My students were smart enough to see that a couple years ago, but I have less hope for the incoming classes that have been marred by a useless K-12 education system and the 2020 lockdowns. Everyone needs to watch this video!
" They are determined to ruin math by deleting any standards we may have had." can you give more details about that please ?
I have just completed my BEd. In my practicum assessment there was a complete section on how I brought in social justice into my lessons, and nothing about how well I taught reading, writing, math, or anything that might actually help a child learn to properly think for themselves.
They are teaching us to encourage activism in our students.
Damn. That sucks. I earned a BSE in Special Education with a Reading Endorsement myself. I had many field placements during my University years before I taught in bottom ranked inner city schools for 4 years. A good teacher's time is stretched thin between academic demands and teaching proper behavior. Good teachers don't have time to teach the contradictory, lavishly expensive, and dangerous Gender Blender ideology that butchers minors.
So, it took you 4 years to figure that out? Anyone knows this who ever attended a public school. Just look at how over 90% of teachers vote - for the wokest most socially justified psycho. Now that you know this, one should assume you'll be changing majors?
@@birdsinacage6627 it's an 11 month program
@@scottttym wow what an interesting but irrelevant response. Doesn't the B indicate Bachelor's?. Regardless, So it only took you nearly a year to figure this shit out? Awesome! How about addressing the relevant part of my comment?
@@birdsinacage6627 I said I completed my degree, why would I now change majors, and why are you so angry?
I retired from 35 years teaching in a low income district high school. Loved most of my years, but last 10 began being very difficult, no one can make below a 70%, no discipline actions, administrators constant walk through evaluations which are disruptive, crazy parents, inclusion, etc. teaching had just become unbearable. I knew problems were coming, I wondered why boys were becoming whimps and girls gangsta. Standards were being lowered, and I didn’t understand why. Discipline was becoming nonexistent. My once wonderful campus was dumbed down to the point of no return. This is so sad but explains a lot. I feel the people involved with this hypocrisy should be brought forth in a trial along with the Faucis of the medical community.
The males becoming whimps and the females gangsta probably had to do with decades of fatherlessness. The Democrat and Social Worker led destruction of poor and black American families is one of the worst sins of recent history. Sadly, people don't know their history and the schools sure ain't gonna tell them about it! So until you identify a problem, it can never be solved.
The anger of the students at Yale is displaced aggression for sure. Who on earth would care about someone's potential Halloween costume? Or was their umbrage the result that someone told them to act like adults and they refused? Any and everything probably gets their goat because they aren't dealing with their underlying issues. Those students can hoot and intimidate, threaten and manipulate their way through life but they'll gain no wisdom until they give in to truth- and they seemed incredibly far removed from.that state in the video.
The fact that a dopey admin gave them an award for their turpitude and manipulation just says it all!
They'll be fun to work with!
Thank you for your three and a half decades of service. That's terrible that common sense discipline and academic standards went down the drain for you in your last 10 years. I taught in different positions in 3 inner city schools from 2010-2014. I had my own taste of what you describe.
I remember a time I got into an argument with a professor. On the board was the assignment. It was to be a series of short essay answers. His instructions were to write down the question then write the answer so he could keep track of whether we were answering the question properly. I had spent the entire previous year as an English tutor in the learning assistance department. I understood what he was wanting but he was dumbing it down to the point that I felt like asking, "should I simply sit and read to you verbatim what our textbook says in regards to each answer rather than composing an answer in the format you are wanting because I sure as hell am not going to do an essay assignment in a question answer format." I pointed out to the professor that the format he was wanting was not what he was calling it. He stated he found this was the best way to keep a student's answer clear and concise. That if he left them to freeform short essay answers he couldn’t follow their train of thought. I pointed out that if a student couldn't do something as simple an assignment as a short essay then perhaps they 1) shouldn't be in college 2) that his requirements was "dumbing down" what shouldn't be a difficult assignment. I even went as far as to suggest going to the learning facility, making an appointment with an English tutor and gave the the days and hours they were open for business. I didn't like or appreciate him dumbing down assignments so more people passed. That not what I paid for. I kept challenging him. Eventually he actually looked at me and said quite loudly, " SHUT UP!!!!!!! " I left the academic setting in the middle of that semester. It disgusted me and became pointless. If that was how a professor was allowed to teach I didn't want to find out how much any teaching points were going to be dumb down for K-12 instruction. I wanted to be a teacher. I wasn't going to attempt to learn how to let a horse wonder off instead of leading them to drink. I think I might have been a great teacher. I had so many things I wanted to incorporate to make history come alive for kids. I suppose it's best I walked away instead of sticking it out. Less student loan debt.
For over 30 years in academia, you don't sound very educated. You come across as OK writer. You should be able to south very intelligent through your writing. I'm confused.
@@skooltyme3379 so is everyone else considering you apparently lack the ability to proofread.
I went to a community college for a year and dropped out. Started working and gain all my life experiences in the real world. For a long time, I felt like I missed out and thought about going back. Now looking back on it, it was the best decision I’ve ever made. No college debt and no indoctrination.
My son was set to start kinder in the fall of 2020 when covid madness was in full swing in the schools. We just couldn’t send him for his first year of school wearing masks and being taught to fear his peers, or being forced to listen to a teacher on zoom. So I was thrust into the homeschool world I never thought I would be in. Fortunately it was the best thing that could have happened to us. He loves it, I love it, and his reading, writing and math are leaps and bounds above his public school friends. He’s reading graphic novels meant for pre teens and he’s 6. He loves the free time and spends the majority of his days playing, with about hour of school time 4 days a week. I never thought I’d be a homeschool mom but the more I learn about k-12 schools the happier I am to be his teacher! My husband works 60 hours a week so we can barely scrape by as a one income family, but knowing my kids will be properly educated and not indoctrinated is worth it.
I wish I had you as a parent!
My story is very similar, and it has become abundantly obvious that this is the way to go. It's both a return to a more natural circumstance, and a progressive step into a better future. Homeschoolers are pioneers of a brighter world.
@@bbblackwell Yes, it is always better for kids to never be exposed to different ideas and conceptions of the world.
WAY TO GO MOM! The State required subjects can be taught with your eyes closed. You can now teach your child important things like critical thinking. You are GUARANTEED not to be the parent of a fool, or a victim of sub-par educators who do not care about your child. BRAVO!
@@stevepierce6467 Not sure what you're getting at. Homeschoolers are obviously more free to explore a variety of alternative ideas than institutionalized children limited to the curriculum and standards of the state. It's up to the parents whether they are or not.
Watching hysteric mobs of students attacking teachers with insane arguments has a lot in common with medieval witch hunts.
I believe it’s on the same line of mass hysteria. They have created there own bubble of sanity that they don’t approve or even humor another opinion. This is what has created the great fracture in society. Why do you think the ones telling you what and how to do something seem less intelligent than you?
Not witch hunts, its the Struggle Sessions of Culture Revolution of Communist China. It's the trials of public enemies of all the Revolutions since the French Revolution.
Yup, as well as public criticism sessions during China’s cultural revolution
Yeah, it sucks. But there’s a point of no return in all of this. Accepting change and allowing China to sort our shit our might not be that bad a thing. Or going through the pains of an internal revolution from within, and becoming respectable enough that neither China nor Russia dare, nor care, to try it on.
Surely one of the laws of power is be formidable. You can’t be respectable absent formidability. This is pretty much one of Jordan Peterson’s slogans by now, but it’s true.
It's a repeat of Mao's cultural revolution. We are so beyond fucked.
I lived off grid for a while, when I came back to society, it had gone off the rails and it was all justified by "more intelligent people" making decisions. I went to college to see exactly how "intelligent" these people actually were. I met more capable, kind and accomplished people living off grid than any I've met in college. I find comfort in having traveled and met a lot of the "plebes" the "educated" are supposedly better than. If anything major happens I know there's a large group of decent folks who will stand up for what's right and accomplish what needs to be done, you just won't find any of these people near colleges
I have a few questions but I'll narrow it to 2, if you wouldn't mind answering them. Exactly how "off grid" were you, and why did you decide to come back?

Loud, noisy, angry...not studying or learning.
Yes I agree that they shouldve been disciplined.

Instead, they received awards for their trailblazing “anti-racist”😊 behavior.
I can definitely attest to the poor reading skills taught in schools. One of my friends has aspergers, and he did _awful_ in elementary and middle school, mostly due to the fact that he could barely read. At the time, my mom worked part time at a special ed school, so my friend's mom asked her to tutor him. So she did the same exact thing she did when she homeschooled me: she taught him phonics. And guess what? He started doing better in school.
A couple years after he graduated high school, I discovered that he had been taught that Egyptians had _always_ been black Africans and that they had built monuments like the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx. I had to explain to him that black Africans didn't gain control until the 25th dynasty, when the Nubians invaded a weakened Egypt. This rewriting of history seems to be commonplace. A few years ago when Assassins Creed Origins came out, there were tons of people on the internet screaming about how the game was "whitewashing" history because of all the light-skinned people in it. The game takes place during the Ptolemaic period and none of these people had _any_ idea that Greeks once ruled Egypt.
I used to be active in a newsgroup about World War II and the regulars there got the shock of our lives when a newcomer identifying himself as a student declared that his history teacher told him that the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor because they were furious about the internment of Japanese Americans during WWII! This, of course, is completely the opposite of what happened: the Japanese and Japanese-Americans were interned *because* of the attack on Pearl Harbor and the fear that they might help the Japanese military invade America. Of course we set him straight on what had happened but I still find it appalling that a teacher could present such inaccurate information. I'm starting to understand how it happened now; that teacher must have been a graduation of one of the education schools mentioned in this video!
The sound it out method is what I started teaching my daughter when I caught her first grade teacher having the class cut and paste instead of writing out their words. We homeschool now and she's reading 5th grade level chapter books in third grade. She stays up until midnight reading to her stuffies in bed. When she can't figure out a word we break it down and sound it out just like I originally taught her. Read with your kids every single day!
That’s wonderful! I just completed the first year of homeschooling my six-year-old son. I started him on hooked on phonics, and he’s doing great. It's priceless to see the expression on your child’s face when they successfully conceptualize things for the first time.
Well pin a rose on you and yours!
I'm so grateful I didn't learn to read in school! Their current method not only makes it harder for kids to understand new vocabulary words (because they can't sound them out and pick them apart to find the meaning); it's also going to make it harder for kids to acquire the literacy to _enjoy_ reading.
I love reading a good book -- sometimes much more than watching a good movie. But that's only because I was able to get past the point where reading was a difficult and demanding chore. . . to where it's as natural as speaking.
Thank you so much for homeschooling, it's really our only hope
My son is thirteen. He can read quite well and also very fast if he doesn't need to do it loud. I still read for him though when he's staying with me, because reading for someone is nice and being read to also. I also have cancer and am diabled and cannot do many other things with him anymore. But we can still enjoy a book together.
In the beginning however, when he was younger, he would jump around and move a lot and I said I will not go on reading because you are not listening anyway, it's a waste of time (I was so used to how my older daughter was always sitting there very still and listening). But he insisted he is listening, and when asked what I had just read as a proof, he cited exactly nearly word for word the last passage I had just read. Writing this to encourage people to read, even when some kids can obviously listen better when they move.
Currently trying to make him still read, since he has gotten into games that is now under attack of getting lost. The right books help.
Being of an older generation, I’m appalled to see that gentleman standing in front of a nasty, rude little teenage girl while she screams insults in his face. I think one of the tragedies of woke culture is the loss of common courtesy, the absence of respect, and the utter ignorance of college students. How did they get into college?
Which generation are you?
Spoiled brats who were never disciplined by their parents, given everything they ever wanted, and learned early on how to have everyone wrapped around their little finger. It was easier to just give the screaming kid a candy bar so she’d shut up than to actually put in the leg work of disciplining her and being the adult in the room. These narcissistic, manipulative little brats then were primed and ripe to latch onto a selfish, power hungry ideology that deals in power and control and manipulation of others. They’ve also been indoctrinated into this ideology and have been taught that these other people like the professor are the oppressors and far from being worthy of respect and decency are only deserving of scorn, hatred, and ridicule.
At this point, US college is nothing more than a large scale exercise in confirmation bias, and the new HR practices add fuel to that fire.
Y'all were just as bad in the 60s and patted yourselves on the back for saving the world then too. Here's your fruit.
the war on white men is alive and flourishing.
I was on course to do a Phd at a well known, highly rated British University in the area of Japanese studies. I even had found a supervisor and had funding lined up. But as soon as I merely hinted at challenging the in-house extreme Left orthodoxy in my research, all hell broke loose. I realised that I had no future in academia if I wanted to remain true to my beliefs and principles. It was either "go along with the orthodoxy or you're out!". So I quit after a couple of months and had a major career change. It's so sad how Western institutions have become like this, and it's a major part of our decline.
Wow. What a juggernaut piece of video right here. I'm not even a US citizen, I live in South America, but I always looked up to USA as a role model, and this really shines a light on the madness I see going on over there. Above and beyond informative, it's beyond any sense how political ideologues are consumed and possessed by these radical ideas and the whole world is feeling the ripples. May common sense return swiftly and reliably. This video was amazing, and I will be subscribing.
It's so sad to see the US in an Intellectual downward spiral. It's like watching the fall of Rome in real time.
I have taught HS for 16yrs. This all rings true
Any idea how we get the Gay-B-Cs and the Genderbread Man out of schools or is this on a federal level of indoctrination?
I went to school at least once. This all rings true
@@WordSonFoRealz i almost got kicked out of school for never showing up..... this all rings true XD
I’ve never went to school. This all rings true
Looking at your channel reveals that you attempt to do a lot of indoctrination yourself...hey teacher: leave them kids alone!🧀🧀🧀
I remember speaking to my parents years ago about some of the indoctrination I experienced at public university. They didn't want to believe it. More from the older generation need to open their eyes. Your most valuable asset, the youth, are literally being intellectually and morally crippled for years to come in public school and university systems. Demand accountability for your children and yourselves! It starts at the grass roots level.
The "war on you" is raging in every area of society. Only the courage to embrace a new vision can save us; one where freedom replaces institutionalized control.
The price of freedom is self-responsibility. Are you willing to learn, teach, build, defend, and share your gifts freely? If so, you have the necessary maturity and inner strength to help usher in a new age of peace and universal prosperity. If not, you're part of the problem.
What indoctrination? Things like "food is a human right"?
@@johnharbour2631 Could this be satire shrouded in cynicism in a world where we are free to explore and express anything that stimulates our grey matter? Nice!

@@thenormalcert537 Hmm? No we're not. I can't legally "stimulate my grey matter" with a whole myriad of things declared felonies by the federal government. That's just one example off the top of my head.
Fair; pronounced; elaborate; and poignant without being obnoxious.
Thank you for this great essay/lecture.
Watching this video makes me more motivated to homeschool my children.
Do it!!
In my days people went to college to sit down, listen to the professor and learn something. Nowadays a college is a room filled up with big ego weirdos, shouting accusations at their professor, trying to get him/her fired. What these spoiled smug youngsters need is above all a course in humility.
Many professors are radical ideologues themselves
A reflection of the no discipline method of raising kids. The belief that ANY boundaries for their child would crush their individuality and create hardship for them. So they grew up living life based on capricious whims being fulfilled, with no obstacles in the way. That's why they believe any and all challenges should be removed for them proactively, or they become disruptive and outraged like a wailing infant.
We should just openly fight them in the street. Like literally hitting them with objects when they speak.
The best evidence of this is those videos where guys like Ben Shapiro answer questions at college talks. The kids who asked the crazy questions don't even have a question they typically ramble for five straight minutes without actually asking a question. It's like they just want to hear themselves talk and attack someone they have no desire to learn anything
Shoulda gone for a stem degree then
The problem of "groupthink" goes back a couple of thousand years, at least. Read up on Socrates who taught his students to THINK by asking them open-ended questions and got condemned for teaching young people "disrespect for the Gods." This problem is not new. What may be new - at least in their magnitude - are the money and CIA/corporate influences on education.
This vid is very detailed in laying out the problem of "group-think" that many people perceive but, so far (I'm half way through it), no mention of these very important larger issues.
I recently saw a CIA recruitment ad that featured a pretty, young black woman walking the hall at CIA headquarters, with her school backpack on, longing to become a CIA agent. I thought: THIS is why I - a young northern white girl - went to Alabama in 1965 to volunteer for Martin Luther King's voter registration project? So black Americans can have equal opportunity to destroy other peoples' governments, torture prisoners, start wars and become the planners and enforcers of U.S. imperialism? Very unsettling ad. It haunts me.
The CIA does "divide and conquer" everywhere in the world. It appears to me that they are now doing in here. That and corporate/billionaire influence on education cannot be solved with reform of our educational institutions. The problem is much bigger.
This is the best explanation of what’s going on I’ve ever heard. Thank you.
This must be seen widely. This explains exactly what I experienced in the community college I worked at before I left. It seemed to happen overnight. They started doing the most bizarre, anti-intellectual crap.
@Down with Corporate Amerika I left it! They're still doing it.

Here in Australia, in my boy's first week in year 7 history, his female millenial teacher sorted the class into privilege leaving my son, his best mate, and two other boys (all nerds) on the highest pedestal for all his class to look at.
I was the first in my family to become university educated. His mother was the second in her family - the grandaughter of an extremely poor english family that survived the bombing of London. Both his mother and I both held three jobs - on top of studying - to pay our way through university, and we raised our son to understand how lucky he was.
I now have both my sons at high school. They, and all their close mates have learnt to keep their heads down, stick together, study hard, and just ignore their teachers ridiculous cultist world views.
In which state is the school?
This sound likes the sort of thing that would be done in the wake of a Communist revolution or in a Communist thought reform camp. Pol Pot's regime used to kill people for wearing corrective lenses for myopia, since it indicated that they must be "privileged." What they are doing is scary, since it could be a premonition of far more radical action to come one day, in which you would be one of the "privileged" scapegoats for society's ills. Communists are always eager to eliminate everyone who is "privileged" in some way, unless they are loyal party comrades.
That won't work for long. They want thought control of every citizen.
South Australian here, it's in the Tafe too.
When I was at school they told me that my father was crazy for going on Fasts & being Vegiterian. .. They would be correctly be sacked for that today ..But that was not school policy, just one teacher ... can you show us if she was working from a course or her own opinions.??
I remember that my daughter was a genius who couldn't get enough of information to satisfy her before college and it was as if going to UC Berkeley taught her to stop researching and learning.
It definitely kills your love of learning
I'm a university professor....all true...thanks so much for saying this so eloquently.

While I resented finding out that I was a member of a cult for 46 years, I gaimed the courage to speak out against thought or speech control.
This video was a "Woke Up Call" .... One hour and twenty minutes (none of it boring!) that explains the history of US education and how to make it work. Thanks so much.
I was in a discussion with a woman one day about socialism, she was for it I was against it and about 3 mins into it she just flat out said my opinion didn’t matter because I never went to college
I remember when I got accepted to my undergrad, they sent me a weird Black students admin brochure. I was kinda offended and weirded out because it felt strange...? Like why am I getting a different one from the general student population? It honestly seemed a bit racist to me TBH. I didn't understand why I needed a different welcome packet than everyone else just because I was Black. And this was in 2009, so I can only imagine how weird things are. I've found that it's mostly White liberals that are pushing this narrative. I am Black AND disabled, and it's very important for other people to treat me like a person. Don't treat me differently just because I'm Black and disabled. I think that disabled portion effects me even worse. I'm autistic and have a few other disabilities. Most people just think I'm a little quirky. But once I disclose that I am autistic, people instantly start treating me differently. It's why I rarely disclose because I really dislike it when people do that. I am a human being before anything else. And it's kinda condescending IMHO. Especially when people start talking to me like I'm 12 years old. 5 seconds ago I was a normal person, but all of the sudden I'm "inspirational" for breathing. I have a strong hatred for inspiration porn. You know, those articles or FB posts that says that an autistic person is inspirational for breathing. It's like it makes non-autistic people feel better because they're not like us. Like, freaking stop that crap. It's highly offensive and autistic people do not exist to make you feel better about yourselves.
The popularity of the Netflix show "Love on the Spectrum" just proves how ignorant the public is. As an autistic person, I love that autism is getting more representation, but it really showed me that non-autistic people still view us as non-humans since many of them didn't even know that disabled people have the same wants and desires as non-disabled people. It's very sad that a TV show needs to exist to tell you that you're ignorant. But I'm going to take this ignorance as a win because hopefully in the future, people start treating us like human beings.
Shut up moreno, your lot have always been this way. A people of complainers and beggars
It's called "Competence Downshifting" and it's becoming increasingly common. Like you, I can usually disguise the fact that I'm disabled from casual acquaintances and strangers; but whenever these Competence Downshifters are interacting with someone who isn't White, they automatically begin using speech that reminds me of "baby talk" -- much simpler and more puerile than the speech they would otherwise use.
What I can't understand is -- how can't they see how racist this is, this assumption of inferior linguistic ability?
If you don't speak out against these leftists, they'll continue to do this. It's a form of wokist savior complex.
@@AviyahAbides I kept trying to speak out against them despite being ostracized online due to it for about 8 years now. They always spout ad hoomineems and call me "whyte soupremacist" (spellin cos YT has become Orweelllian) despite being brown and from a poor country. It's not stopping. Even young urbanized middle class countrymen are problematizing about these western problems (misgeendering, traans over women when our women don't even have basic rights and shelters, muh whypeepo in a brown country with more pressing matters like chynese 1mperialism). I could go on. These people have spit on the devellooping world which is years/decades behind in terms of even basic huuman rights.
You make great points! Thank you for sharing.
I dropped out. I couldn't handle the lunacy. Best decision I ever made.
I did too, 4 weeks before graduation, its the most relief I've ever felt!
May you, and those that chose this same path, find success in this world. I have two grown adult sons that never graduated from college, but are filled with common sense, inner strength, and perseverance. Those traits have led to happy lives and I'm SO VERY proud of both my men. Peace be upon you.
@@hsgrain490 thank you, its lovely to hear that!!
I was “cancelled” from architecture school after three semesters before it was popular. I had to work very hard to get there. This was 9 years ago. If I tried to go back I’d be insulted regardless of which subject.

Yes. We know this has been building for decades. My wife and I homeschooled and later sent our kids of private schools, but we also know that our community needs help. We have a good enough school system, but we know that the school board and superintendent face tremendous pressure from State and Federal bureaucracies to implement certain ideological instruction. As such, school administrators are begging for help from the community. My wife is the director of a local non-profit that has hundreds of volunteers in several counties in the region who run weekly clubs in the schools to help the kids with instruction, activities, and counseling. In a couple of larger towns, including ours, there is another non-profit that focuses specifically on high-risk kids. While my wife focuses on kids in school, they focus on kids outside of school, because that's when they are most at-risk. They started off just doing organized sports teams, but have developed into a comprehensive ministry that includes meals, tutoring, counseling, and even a place for kids to sleep if they get kicked out of the house for the night (which happens more often than many people realize). We also have an old school bus that we have converted into a rolling classroom/clubhouse that we can use to reach kids. I have driven the bus in town parades and have witnessed the kids jump up and down for joy, pointing at 'their' bus.
This shit started at least 20 to 25 years ago in Australia
It hadn't been decades, it has been centuries. And if we really wanna understand this, this has happened all throughout history for thousands of years. Look at the Roman empire. This disease destroys empires. And it also got ahold of Ancient Greece as well.

Man, when I was in college in the early 2000's, all I did was go to class, go to the library, and go to the gym. It was too expensive to not take seriously. So I didn't see a reason to get involved with groups of fellow students who were intent on trying to toss out every bit of structure and tradition they ever saw. As a result I actually learned a lot from my experience. Neat little things like how the limit definition of the derivative leads to various derivative rules like the power rule.
I’ve been at a state university for some time now and the majority of my professors , regardless of the class topic always find a way to insert modern day social justice rhetoric into subjects that have nothing to do with the class. This guy is right
This. I took English 300 twice and once it was about racism and class, the other time environmentalism and, like, food or something? Slow food movement or something? I literally quit because he was like 400lbs and talking about this health food shit and like yelling at night school students who work and are like 25-50 years old, 2/3rds are women, half of em are brown, like who are you even yelling at here dude? Me and the other two white men? And what's weird is I think that was kinda it, he looked at us a lot, too long and too much. Literally so creepy and frustrating to listen to I dropped from just that. And this was before 2012.
We need to talk about social justice, especially now that an unhinhed group of christian nationalists are working hard to take us back to a "better" time in US history, when women, blacks, minorities, and people who did not fit in were relegated to secondary status (or non-ststus!) in our white male-dominated society.

This presentation is absolutely wonderful. Thank you, Dr. Asher, for providing such a well-thought-out talk that covers a very important topic. As a recent high school graduate, I've been interested in why it's so difficult to find a university that hasn't been infiltrated by woke ideology. This video has helped me begin to formulate a basic understanding of the history of education and the harm that has been done by ed schools.
I also really appreciated the animations and images that were added to the video. They held my interest and were great supplements to Dr. Asher's words. Overall, great presentation, great editing, and a great topic. We need more content like this!
it's because what you call "woke" is actually a critical analysis of sociology and history in relation to today's world. nothing is being "infiltrated."
I got my first degree from 1966-1970. I took enough history courses to get a BA in history with a pile of political science courses. I wanted to teach so I added the required Ed courses. ADDED. I never thought of them as anything but the hoops to the job. In 1976-1978, I got an MA on Special Education from Ball State University in Indiana. These Special Education classes were wonderful. They were like clinical psychology courses focused entirely on practice, successfully teaching these kids. The Special Education department head was wonderful. I was going to school on VA benefits and I had to use them fast. He stood by me and forced the university bureaucracy to allow me to do a double masters adding East European history along with the Special Education to the MA. This combination of rigorous academic work in history combined with education classes is NECESSARY to produce a good functioning public school teacher. And the education school coursework is only as good as the psychology it is based on. The teaching ability of public school teachers is only as good as their knowledge base in subject matter and the teaching psychology they have learned. My Ph.D. was from Purdue university. Purdue doesn’t do political stuff. After I got my Ph.D., I went to an Illinois university to teach in School of Education. It was years of hell. The students were ones who couldn’t get in any other program. I taught the middle school course, a special 4 credit course. My first assignment to the students was to get in groups and report on specific psychologists. These kids had just finished Ed psychology the semester before, yet they claimed to not know most of the psychologists. I told the kids at the start the class would work as thus: we are opening a new middle school and you will be assigned faculty when it opens. We must do everything to make it an award winning center of knowledge and achievement. I taught it as I had been taught at Ball State, very practical and clinical. The students hated it and constantly complained to the admins. The recruiters from the Chicago schools loved the course. As is required, I wrote. Articles had to go to the department head before out to publishers. I did several with other professors. I wrote several myself. They hit brick walls. I was told directly, "Don’t write these dense academic articles. Just write a ‘how to teach’ article and send it to puff press." When that didn’t stop me, the deputy department head pulled me aside and told me to leave. (I want tenured). Go somewhere like Penn State (I grew up in PA) he said. I just packed up and left, back to public school with better pension. I was moved into administration there (Dr. of social studies & world languages) but again I had terrible clashes over the need to have academic subject knowledge from the teachers and refusal to create ignorant kids by teaching to the test. My health suffered. I retired at 60 to take care of myself. I’ve watched the school system become worse and dumber. Given its politicized policies, I’d be fired in a second. For years, I was mourning for the kids; now I think along the lines one of my undergrad professors said: "The public gets the schools they deserve." The parents are horrible. The schools are horrible. Take it from men having spent some of my years as dean of students providing the only discipline in the building as the other admins were too cowardly to lay down discipline.
wow that is like getting ptsd from being a lone voice in the wilderness, in a sense. Thank God you at least were blessed with terrific preparation and encountering good people then. Hope your health has bounced back. Have you considered starting a u tube channel where you teach the real stuff you know, and including the discipline you respect? Hillsdale college is a fantastic place in Pennsylvania. It is the only (or one of only 2) colleges in the country that functions ONLY on private funds - they take ZERO public funds from anywhere. Have you looked into teaching there? As a prof or teacher you can teach until YOU choose to retire. You may still find happiness and the type of environment you have been seeking there or create your own on u tube or through a website, etc. You can also offer your knowledge and skills to home schooling parents - both in person locally and through the web! Don't give up! The world NEEDS educators like you! Somewhere maybe right under your nose there is a place or groups of people who are looking for someone just like you with exactly your experience and knowledge. Just some thoughts.
AND THANK YOU both for your service in our military and for your integrity. Thanks for sharing your experience.
I actually earned my BSE in Special Education right before wokeness seeped into universities and colleges. I taught in bottom ranked inner city schools for 4 years. I became incredibly ill, and medical doctors couldn't figure me out. I had to quit teaching, and my teaching license expired. Your story is heartbreaking. It has many different twists and turns than mine, but I can relate to several key aspects of it.

This clip is one of the best I have seen in years. Articulate, backed by fact and observation, it has to be taken seriously. I see the results every day of what is discussed herein, in the quality of the scientists I supervise. They come to work for us just out of university and, almost without exception, are unable to write an intelligible report, and it goes further than that. They find reading, a vital part of their jobs, onerous. Rather than read they will consult Google. They judge the value of a book by the reviews they find there, never actually reading the book itself, and this applies to both research papers and general literature. How refreshing to hear the causes and the cure spelled out. Thanks.
This was a most amazing and enlightening video. I’m a retired medical doctor. I had no knowledge of Ed Schools history. This video is instructive as to THE SYSTEMIC BIAS of a system gone unchecked.
As an old man of 75, I've regularly run into you adults that are hungry for this kind of dialogue: it strengthens them; gives them courage to face the challenges they face.

Thank you Dr. Boghossian for your part and courage for the hearts and minds of those who willing to face the challenges ahead to take back the lost ground as our universities have been taken from within. To the likes of you, James Lindsay, Helen Pluckrose, Lyell Asher, etc., I salute you and continue to do what I can in this battle, though the end of my time is rapidly coming nigh.
I retired as a physics college teacher recently. The shock for me was to witness how woke even the science teachers have become. I used to think that science people would be intelligent, but they are not, at all. Not in a broad sense of the word.
They've always been that way in my experience. No Scientific or Socratic Methodology, just shut and believe what I say without question. THAT's why I always liked math, it's very difficult to use math as a gateway to indoctrinate people into a particular worldview.

An absolutely outstanding presentation, most importantly, it was concluded with the practical advice for prospective students of colleges and their parents. May I humbly add to this advice by suggesting that children need to be read to every night. It is one of the greatest gifts you can give of your time and love. The other is, eat together every night to share food and thoughts and conversation. If you do those two things you are well on your way to success. God bless you all.
I'm German and have been studying English for several years now, and the first thing I do when a new interesting English word comes across my way is to look up its meaning and its phonetic transcription in the Muret-Sanders, which is a comprehensive English-German dictionary in four thick volumes from the 1960s. Learning a word without the correct pronunciation doesn't make any sense. I don't need icons which symbolize the word but much more the main meaning and the correct pronunciation.
When I was a Junior in college in 2016-2017, I was required to take a writing class as one of my graduation requirements as a business major. Around this time, I had listened to Jordan Peterson on the Joe Rogan Podcast and listened to him talk about how much of Universities had become corrupted by this new wokism & declining diversity of thought. I became intrigued with this idea, as I had felt that I had not necessarily encountered this at my time in University mostly taking business classes.
The first day I sat down in my writing class, the teacher had written her pronouns on the chalk board and encouraged others to share their pronouns, something that I had never previously encountered and immediately began seeing the writing on the wall. Our first assignment was to analyze a short story that was critical of white male culture from the perspective of a Native American feminist, which highlighted themes of materialism and rape culture. I went down a rabbit hole searching the origins of these terms to find that they were derived from Marxism and it blew my mind. I made sure to highlight this in my paper, and said that while I understood what the point of the short story was, I disagreed with its intent. I turned the paper in and was given a C for my efforts. After speaking with the teacher, she allowed me to modify my paper and turn in a new final draft that was rewritten. I proceeded to whitewash the paper and highlight the themes of white culture expressed within the short story and sided with the author and turned in the new paper. I was given an A.
It became very clear to me at that point that everything Peterson had said was completely true and completely changed my perspective of higher education institutions forever. Other than a handful of business classes that I took, many of the classes I had taken were complete nonsense in hindsight.
@Down with Corporate Amerika Oh yes they should 100% engage with Marx's ideas. And also learn what these ideas have brought. Death. Desolation. And regression. That is the objective truth. Every time you look at a regime that tried to implement these ideas (ergo communism). It is what always happened and what continues to happen. The system promotes this. The way it is taught however? It's the perfect system. Nothing is wrong with it. No people die under it esp not abducted by their own state, thrown into labour camps and laboured until death. That is how it is taught. It's a lie. And it needs to stop. To me it's like teaching there is nothing wrong with national socialism and the system is perfect. I am german btw. So national socialism isn't just some buzzword to us. It reminds us of our terrible past and we are continuously beaten with it. The same should happen with communism. And the only reason I say it needs to be taught and shown is because I am liberal. Otherwise I'd forbid it outright if I was as authoritarian as communist regimes are.
@Down with Corporate Amerika, the story and Marxism are not forms of thought but forms of mental violence. The only way to engage with mental violence is to point out what it is.
You should stick to the business classes. I also was a business major,
majoring in Finance and encountered none of this in my classes but had a friend who was a sociology major and she was full of all this nonsense. On top of she chose a major that gives no work relevant skills. All this brainwashing is only in the liberal arts classes. The business, science, engineering, computer science, and mathematics kids are all spared this nonsense.
@Down with Corporate Amerika no, his ideas are simplistic and childish, as anyone who has even taken 1 or 2 economics classes will tell you. He should stick to the business classes and not waste his time taking liberal arts classes, which has the effect of making you dumber when you graduate than when you came to college, plus not giving you any work related skills to find a job with.
@Down with Corporate Amerika, you could but why would you?
From Australia. Couldn’t agree more. It’s an international problem, specifically in the Western countries. Not only Vietnam, but other factors led to this. Excellent presentation thank you!!! ✨✨🙏✨✨
That is the outcome of a child raised to believe they are the very best and can't lose.
So, when they are confronted with a disagreement, they lose their minds. To disagree is to suggest "they lose".
And don't go thinking this is a one sided, "leftist" issue. The very same thing could be said about those falling for misinformation campaigns. For some reason, they aren't willing to be corrected. They cannot be wrong. Sound familiar?
1:09 "...and none of us had a clue what the professor believed." - THIS is so important.
I took a ten year break between my associates degree and my bachelors degree. The difference in indoctrination within that ten years is astounding.
If you are an employer, stop requiring university degrees. Rather, make your requirement something like "at least 10 years' combined post--secondary education, military, and/or professional experience." Or, develop a test to assess critical thinking skills. College grads I've hired have turned out to be untrainable. I'm at a point where I'd rather hire a mature, experienced auto mechanic and assign him some relevant books and articles to read than hire a woke college grad.
The Purple Sand, the college degrees are mainly useful for jobs that require those skills. For example, to be an engineer you need a degree in engineering, to be a computer scientist you need a degree in computer science. To be an accountant… you get the idea. If someone comes to you with a philosophy degree and the job you are hiring for does not require philosophy then a high school graduate will do.
Even worse that woke college Graduate will pollute your entire organization probably spending more time raising grievances or trying to indoctrinate those who don't think like them, rather than actually doing any work. You will be paying them for this nonsense , not for doing work.
@@robfromvan "to be a computer scientist you need a degree in computer science" not really.
@@monad_tcp you need training in the subject matter that you are going to pursue as your job. If you get a degree in sociology or gender studies, you need to find a job where that information is useful. There are very few jobs like that.

I’m a willing listener to much of what Dr. Asher has to say. My own experience as a teacher for 5 years and in the decades since confirms, at least for me, many of his observations, most especially his support of phonics. That said I am a progressive person who had an uneasy feeling as I watched that Dr. Asher had a not-quite open agenda of his own. I think it’s fair to say that most of his criticisms targeted Progressive persons and programs. That said, I noticed very little criticism of the rhyming intrusion into academic institutions by corporations and fabulously, obscenely, wealthy individuals to peddle a capitalist ideology as doctrinaire, censorious and comprehensive in its approach. Even more accurately, the capitalist effort is more targeted and thoughtful. It creates a cadre of tireless soldiers who know the intricacies of government, and despite representing a privileged minority against the mass of American citizens, successfully secure the very high ground. Working people are not busy or able to establish Chairs at academic institutions dedicated to protecting their interests. There are reasons that trust or the assumption of good will is absent in modern debate-because it seems to change nothing on the ground. Academic liberalism has altered the conversation but it’s done little to change the reality for many Americans. It’s almost as if Academics and disadvantaged persons are allowed to control the debate while the wealthy control the resources. There is much here that is worthy but I have concerns…
I went back to school, after the massive lay-offs that hit many industries in 2009. I was fortunate that when I went back, this type of thing was not pressed into the new students. When I had completed everything that I needed to do and was set to graduate, I was told that my final grades and my degree were being held by the administration because I had not completed their intake exam on sexual predatory behavior. The way that they applied this series of videos and the exam, was on the on-line website for the school. It would appear as a pop-up and when you opened it several video tutorials would begin playing along with a test that would follow. I found a way out of the pop-up and would do what I went there to do and ignored the videos (which were over 2 hours in length). I avoided this video/exam because I was in my 40's and did not need to be "schooled" in how to not sexually assault anyone, I had avoided being involved in that type of thing for 40 years and did not need their guidance. I called the Dean of Students and told her what was going on, she told me that I would need to complete this tutorial because it was mandatory. I got in my car and drove to her office and to say she was surprised to see me would be an understatement! I told her I was not going to do that test and I was not leaving until she released my grades and issued me my Degree. This woman had obviously never had an adult confront her because my presence was not threatening, but was the behavior of an adult seeking to get what they paid for. Needless to say, I left that office with my grades and my Degree! I'm so glad I got out before all of this nonsense became compulsory, because that would have been years of fighting with an administration that would need to be talked to every time they tried to speak to me as if I was a child! That don't fly with me! In case this is not clear, this was during the very dangerous "Me Too" movement which was toxic! I had never had to take ANY kind of an exam, or view ANY videos during the years that proceeded this movement. And yes, it was 2 hours! There were 8 15 minute videos that you had to sit through and then take the test after each of them.
Just to examine your very last sentence a little bit...
It's not that they'd have been treating you like a child that's the problem here - I presume you didn't take such training not to behave in a sexually predatory manner when you were a child or adolescent? And I presume you didn't need to either by your own account of your innocence...
So really, is it that they're treating you like a child or is it that they're treating you like a PREDATOR?
Worse, they're treating you like (to coin a nonsense phrase) a "rational predator" - a person who has predatory instincts and a sufficient lack of empathy to be capable of acting on them, but who is somehow able to be trained and reasoned with to not act on those predatory instincts... Does this seem even remotely plausible or logical?! Why on earth would you expect the kind of person who would act in that fashion to be able to be educated out of it?
Except, as the video illustrates, it's not about what it claims to be... It's about putting you in that situation and then moving the goalposts by expanding definitions and so on to make you feel like you really are a predator who needs the guidance of the social justice cult in order to stay on the straight and narrow... And when viewed in that light, it begins to make some kind of sense, wouldn't you agree?
@@EnglishTMTB Um....yes. Is this a bot? Actually, this was during the intense "Me Too" movement and college campuses were instituting these policies as a way of climbing on board that movements band wagon. I found this ham handed approach insulting. The lack of presentable empirical data detailing incidents that may have occurred on that campus and whether they involved actual students, failed to illustrate the necessity for such a policy. Information like arrests, convictions, and reports of predatory behavior are important in determining if there even IS a problem that could possibly be solved through the power of video tutorial. This was quite a contentious movement (which is completely forgotten today) that assumed that everyone on a college campus was either a predator, or the prey. And yes, I saw it as patronizing to think that video tutorials would or could prevent predatory behavior. It was also a matter of guilty until proven innocent which I am not a fan of. OK! My nose is bleedin, I think I'm gonna go lie down for awhile.
@@UNUSUALUSERNAME220 To be honest, I know full well that I'd be far more upset about the default assumption that all men are sexual predators than I would be about wasting two hours on a meaningless certificate...
If there were a compulsory 2hour crash course on, say, budgeting for your needs to ensure kids knew how to survive college on what money they had available? I'm not sure I'd be all that bothered given that not all (arguably not many) college kids already have that skill and it would be useful to many of them... But there's no virtue to signal in that so I'm guessing it'll never happen
@@EnglishTMTB This was a poisonous movement. The insistence was that any type of physical contact could be construed as sexual assault, It completely removes any personal responsibility for your actions. It was a point of contention for me because the pervasive attitude was, "You haven't done anything wrong...yet." This moral panic did not last long and it has taken a back seat to all the other issues that permeate college campuses in the US. If you want me to take time out of my schedule to look at information or subjects that I may not be privy to that's fine. If you are going to insinuate that college campuses are filled with predators and rapists, I'm gonna need some evidence, otherwise I've got better things to do.

When I was an 18 year old freshman at U of M in Ann Arbor, my roommate in the dorm was a 21 year old junior in the Ed School who was going to be a math teacher. He asked me to help him with his homework, solving simple algebra problems which were 10th grade math.
Yea,it's really bad at UM with the leftist indoctrination. I work over at Shapiro. Listening to Marxist trash said by these administration lunatics is vomit inducing.
No wonder I can’t do math. The teachers barely know how, so they don’t have the mastery needed to deconstruct and teach it.

@@genxx2724 Bingo! An essayist I like, Theodore Dalrymple (he also writes under his real name, Anthony Daniels) was going through his father's school books after his father died. His father had kept all his school books and Dalrymple/Daniels was amazed at how difficult the math was; an educated man himself, he was certain that the math taught in his father's day was far beyond what current students - or teachers! - could do. I have personal reasons for believing this is true. I remember learning how to do certain algebra problems somewhere around Grade 11 - the kind of problem where a train is leaving Chicago at noon going 50 mph while another train leaves Richmond at 3 PM going 60 mph and you have to determine where they will meet. One day, out of curiousity, I asked my mother if she had ever done such problems in her schooling and she said she said she had. The thing is that my mother only had a grade 8 education, which was the norm for a European farm girl in the 1930s. Grade 11 is close to 50 years ago for me now so I wonder if problems like the trains that are going to meet are relegated to university math now?
@@hughmungus1767 I’ve been watching a UA-cam channel called Hapa Family. The wife is running the household as a Montessori environment. The three year old girl played with a rubber band on a peg board and announced she made an isoscoles triangle! I didn’t learn types of triangles until geometry my sophomore year in high school. And I don’t remember them now.
It’s really interesting how she has things set up so the kids can do everything for themselves, and the baby-led weaning is fascinating in its simplicity. No puréeing, no special food, and no feeding the baby. No sippee cups or plastic cups, either. The baby puts food in her mouth by herself, and drinks water from a very small glass. Mom holds the glass at first, but that’s it. Now when I see videos of parents feeding mush to infants I think it’s wrong and impedes their development.
I just decided to go back to school and one of the first classes I had to take was writing. We were slowly writing papers building up to our final essay and we also had to design a "public service video" using movie making programs. The topic? Social justice. It was then I realized that no matter what classes you take, no matter your major, the curriculum is built around this social justice awareness initiative. I made a conscious decision that I will play along and keep my mouth shut to get my degree. I feel bad, because everyone kind of knows it's bullshit, yet we are forced to play along if we want to pass. If your thinking about going to college, be prepared.
That sucks. What specifically did you end up writing your paper about?
@@user-tl5om1ow2b Well, we were directed to write about social justice issues related to our major. I'm majoring in Biology ( Biomedical science) so I wrote about the "Disparity between economic class and medical treatment" . I initially included information on education level, and lifestyle choices leading to some of the inequality but was told to re write the paper without these parts included. Basicly, our papers were kicked back and left with no grade until it was written exactly the way our professor wanted. Only then we're we given a grade and told we passed the class.
I understand why you would go along with them. However l don't believe it is worth the harm it does to your mental health. Hope you can resist and keep your sanity whatever you choose to do 🙂.
@@PqV72MT4 Oh most definetly. I'm a good deal older than most students as I retired and decided I wanted to pursue a new career. I'd say as a rough estimate, 80 percent of us students understand that the social justice ideology is flawed and inherently based on nothing but emotional arguments, and the other 20 percent are the ones who "drink the kool aid" on these issues. The problem is, this class was on Rhetoric Writing, which for centuries has taught you to base arguments on facts and examples and that emotional arguments did not hold up, but the standard is changing. Our professor informed us that new writing experts ( other professors in Ivy League University's). Are releasing dissertations and studies that say emotional arguments are becoming valid and facts in some cases don't matter. This is where I have a problem, because if we lose sight of facts and information in exchange for the way we "feel" , we tend to make situations worse, even if well intentioned. As they say "The road to hell is paved with good intentions" and that rings more true today than ever.
This has been exactly my experience also. I fought around to get out of gender and racial studies as a robotics major, only to have history professor that only gave full points to papers that pointed out gay historical figures in them
I studied in one of the best public universities in Colombia. I felt proud at first but when I worked there I was totally dismayed by the shallowness, the indoctrination, and I decided to resign and work by myself. After they tried to push vaxxes on everyone and scorn all those who didn't 'follow the science' I said: enough! and left, never to come back.
I am from england I saw the same thing. Part of the problem may be because of the various educational backgrounds peaople come from before they enter the university. A proper grounding in philosophy was missing in a lot of cases. It may be common. In Barthes mythologies the problem was mentioned.
So you are part of the problem because it's not everything on the left which is a falsehood or on the right which is a truth. Actually, it's quite a mixed bag.
As a parent with a 7 yo, the first time I had to assist with some homework and I was genuinely unable to grasp the roundabout way in which they were teaching her, I was dumbfounded. When I asked the teacher where can I access information on how to understand the new math teaching techniques, she said, "well I just tell parents to help them do it any way they know how"...but she didn't understand my traditional method at first so I had to try and teach her...all the while she is learning a different method in school...homeschooling has become much more of an option lately
An outstanding presentation. In 1976, I scored in the upper-most quartile on my SAT and began my college career with a major in Biology at IUPUI. I transferred to Indiana State University where I earned a BS Ed. in Science Education (non-departmentalized) in 1980 and subsequently taught Science, State History, Remedial Reading and P. E. in grades 4-6. I also taught 7-8 grade Science, and later taught 4th graders in a private school for a year. I became so disillusioned by the end of 1983 that I returned to college, obtained an AAS in Computer Science and never looked back. I have worked in technology for close to 40 years now and I am again seeing some of the same "Newspeak" tactics that I saw in education in the 80's. I was thinking of making a return to the classroom as an instructor but I doubt that I would be able to weather the culture. What a miserable situation our children are facing in the future as a result of the indoctrination cult running our universities.

Having worked as a student worker for the administrators I can say that they are some of the most race obsessed people I have ever met. Every survey they’d be concerned with not how happy the students are nor how they viewed the school, but rather how the demographics lined up. Every time they’d use the meta data to see if the demographics matched their fancy and little else. It’s so bad that at my graduation the Provost made it about the faculty (namely the departing president) and how globalism and diversity and inclusion were paramount for a worthwhile future. He even unironically said that “Everything is political”. College is dead to me because of people like them.
Yes we have a James Cook University professor, Dr Peter Ridd, who was sacked by the Woke faculty because he commented on the observations of resilience and health of the great barrier reef which was not in line with the narrative the university was expected to be supporting.
No wonder graduates are suppressed and dumbed down!
I graduated college in 2012. Back then, it was still a place that allowed open discussions about almost any topic. Liberals were much more tolerant and open minded back then.
I've been a student in a public four-year university for a whole three weeks, not even physically on the campus, and I've already witnessed and experienced so much of this crap that I'm having to choke back my anger and disgust- and desire to rebut and debunk it all- when I sit down to write out my responses to the questions they ask me about the "lectures" I'm required to watch. And oh, the reading this has led me to stumble across.... SMDH. I'm biting my tongue for now, but I have a feeling it's not going to hold for too very long before I start doing some educating, myself....
I run an education non-profit, and it was amazing how resistant schools are to success. In San Diego we tried to break into what is one of the worst public school systems in the country, and we found that not only was the system resistance, it became actually obstructive as we were able to become successful in spite of them.

Many broken things can be fixed. Sometimes you have to replace something all together. All in all I think it can be fixed.
When you lay it all out so calmly and rationally, it makes you realise how deep the rot is.
Watching him talk about the Ed Schools reminded me so much of "the Long March through the Institutions," it's hard to believe, after seeing this, that anyone would think it's just a "far-right conspiracy theory".
What it is actually is a cultural neo-marxist movement (much too broad and in the open to be called a conspiracy) that has been, at least since the 1960s, intentionally executing the "long march" through the US and Canadian education systems. The objective is to destroy the (Western) cultures of these (and other) countries by having the education systems produce more neo-marxist activists instead of educated, functional and productive citizens.
My entire time in university was a frustrating exercise of fighting against a system that was more interested in indoctrinating me instead of teaching me. In a lot of instances I was actually teaching students because the professors were too busy focusing on their own personal politics instead of teaching, and I had the luck of teaching myself a lot of things while I was in high school. The problem is that you can't even drop these indoctrinating classes, they're being listed as "mandatory" or is a required class in order to access higher classes. You're screwed no matter what.
After nearly four years, I dropped out. Fact of the matter what that as I looked at my education in college I had learned next to nothing other than how to spot a con job. Because college is the biggest con I've ever seen.
Jr colleges aint too bad.....
The military is doing the same things. This means it is a conserted effort from the top. Money is used to control as always. The video did not talk about the Weather Underground that spawned from those Vietnam Era anti war protests and was the start of all of this but has spread like a Cancer. Communist China is also giving a lot of money to these universities, particulary the ivy league ones because they are...or were imo supposed to be the gold standard and most esteemed and have an interest in the indoctrination.
I disagree however and we are not screwed. This very thing the internet which was created to spy on and control the masses can also be used to educate everyone as the corrupt system is failing and exposed.
I'd respectfully disagree. You learned critical thinking and also how to do your own research- you are ''qualified'' to teach yourself anything you wish (you have all the tools). On university, Nietzsche wrote that ''ultimately, the most important knowledge is the discernment of method'' (to educate one's self for a lifetime). College has become a typically 'murcan con. It is one more essential societal institution, that is now just another rotted corpse for the vultures to batten upon. Other societies look on in horror. Most 'murcans (even if they did understand) would drone in unison ''sojalizm is not our system''. Instead of spending a fortune on college, young people should learn a trade and flee this country as if they were in Germany in '33.
You lasted 4 years? I lasted 1, then saw it as a horrible trap.
Went to a tech school, stuck with it for 5 years, and it was worth it! How so? Log in your hours, sit down, do the exercises, read all the books, make the payments. Complete the course, 1 at a time until they literally come up to you and say, "Good job! But you've already completed the program."
Only for you to say... "Wuh? That's it?"
It was cheaper, easier, and there were hassles that you have to learn on how to over with.
Would I do it again? Heck yes!
Would I go to universities and colleges today? HECK NO!!!

Listening to Dr. Lyell Asher is such an eye opener, mind opener absolutely need to be listened to.
17:56 In 50 years we've gone from standing on the precipice of realizing Dr. King's dream of judging each by the content of their character rather than outward appearance, to that ideal being reduced to being labeled a "microaggression," and the _only_ important characteristic of a person is how many intentionality boxes they can check so as to maximize their social credit. When I think of what's happening to our society, I despair. We are plunging into a despotic totalitarianism that will see the death of this great experiment in personal freedom.
The system had some real problems baked into it which might be remedied upon its destruction. It’s not all bad. There is hope.
Thank your Dr. Lyell Asher and Peter Boghossian, for sharing this pragmatic and fair-minded man with all of US ~
I had a hard time learning to read in grade school. My school used the whole language method, and as I was below grade level I was sent to summer school. But they used more of the same. I eventually read at grade level, but I think it was because I eventually worked out on my own. That was in the 70s and it's stunning to realize they knew better and kept teaching the wrong way.
Thank you for this video, it really enlightened me.
I wanted to comment on the statistic on minority reading proficiency. Everytime I've heard this, a memory pops into my head. This doesn't pertain to all black.men or women but it always rings a bell in my head. Back when I was in highschool, I was extremely interested in the Civil Rights movement and read The Autobiography of Malcolm X, saw the movie, read many more books on MX and MLK. I wore an "X" cap. I remember going out with a friend and a friend of his. He was black and when he saw my cap he started asking me questions about it. After a while I asked him if he had read the autobiography. I remember, like yesterday, his reply. "Man, that sh*t's for white boys like you." I remember that he and my friend kind of poked fun at me for a minute. No, he hadn't read it because he doesn't read books because he's not an 'egghead'. Only white people are eggheads. It rings up the question, "Where does this come from?" I have heard since, many stories of black men and women getting shamed for learning as, "wanting to be white". To me, anyone pushing this is pushing a slave mentality. I read all about how Slaves were often only had a rudimentary education, if any. This seems like the same mentality only, not enforced by slave owners but the very ancestors of Slaves, themselves. Just wanted to share that.
@@octobercountry3322 I agree with that. I see that it happens today, as well. There are a good many black men and women who are shocked to find out that the leaders of BLM used moneys to buy large homes. I see a lot of propaganda that is aimed at emotional responses rather than reason. The glut of memes on Facrbook and elsewhere are dangerous because they do not include all of the necessary information to make an educated deduction from them. But I feel like, once you can anger someone with bs, they become too emotional to take the time to look at facts. Many people just dig in and entrench themselves in their anger or ideology. Even level headed and logical responses to this anger are thrown out as racist, misogynistic, homophobic or xenophobic simply because it didn't agree with the person's thoughts. Often enough, my being male and white is thrown at me as if I'm sitting at a country club, Ascot and all, peering down upon them. It is hard and sad that I have trouble, anymore, deciphering whether a person's inability to reason is genuinely a result of something horrifying and maybe I'm the one who doesn't understand, the person is afraid of being shamed by others around them and can't reason or its just plain narcissism and the person just refuses to budge for the sake of their own ego. So, to actually tell people what I think of various leaders becomes a huge lesson in patience and frustrated acceptance that I could not break through. The fact is, I know there was a lot of corruption during the 60's within the Civil Rights movement that is ongoing today. But still, I ask the question, how did the "only white people read" or whatever else, come to be? Was that a part of the corruption? And how the hell do I break through that bs?
@@octobercountry3322 Not much of a rabbit hole to be honest. I cannot remember who equated Marxism with a "New Serfdom" but what you said about slavery reminds me of that. To me, what is going on is very much Orwellian. Although we could say Intersectionality is akin to Mao's Cultural Revolution, people are pitted against each other in an almost 1930's Ukraine style Kulak v. Proletariat and yet, somehow, corporations work with government to censor or monitor, much like Nazi Germany. I feel as we are on the cusp of drastically going in one of two directions. On one hand, under the fist of an Authoritarian regime or, on the other, some kind of Awakening (not wokeness). This starts to feel too much like Wiemar at times but I see glimpses of hope, here and there.

This was really an incredible breakdown, and I have shared it with my friends that have children. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for making this video! I’m 20 years old and have been in college for 3 years, wanting to continue my education but I’m seeing such a drastic change in the environment, it’s unbelievable! I feel like the world has gone mad! I appreciate everything you’re doing to educate people about these issues.
Thank you, Dr. Asher and Dr. Boghossian! I am a longtime public school teacher and I agree with you wholeheartedly.
This is terrific thank you -- will share
