Zuby is joined by Naomi Best, a therapy student who took a stand against ideological extremism in academia. Beginning with shocking invasions of privacy and institutional failures, she shares how her experience led to public exposure through a Wall Street Journal article. The conversation explores the politicisation of therapy training, anti-Christian sentiment in universities, and the rise of identity politics. Naomi also reflects on the consequences of challenging woke ideology, her vision for education reform, and the role of faith and courage in navigating a hostile academic environment.
