The PURGE: Erasing the Enlightenment One Child at a Time
About this episode
What are your children learning in school about man and what he should do in life? What kind of "self" are they being encouraged to develop? Do you even know?
James Lindsay joins me to discuss the Marxian religious questions our children are being taught to ask in school, how the answers are purging enlightenment values from American culture, one lost "self" at a time.
An American-born author, mathematician, and professional troublemaker, Dr. James Lindsay has written six books spanning a range of subjects including religion, the philosophy of science and postmodern theory. He is a leading expert on Critical Race Theory, which leads him to reject it completely. He is the founder of New Discourses and currently promoting his new book "Cynical Theories: How Activist Scholarship Made Everything about Race, Gender, and Identity―and Why This Harms Everybody," which is currently being translated into more than fifteen languages.
Join us for a discussion about what it means for all of us when our children are taught an anti-enlightenment theory of mind?
