Mark is at the helm flying this time. Yeah, good to see everybody. And if you see if you watching over our episode, you know if we're wearing the headphones. That means we got a Skype guest today. And we got a special one. You've heard of this guy. You see him. And you've been reading about him. And I'm just thrilled that he took the time to sit down with us today via Skype and have a little chat.

Associate professor of English University, Wisconsin. Dr. Duke tested it. I get that right. You're associate professor of English. And you're one of those weird anomalies, man, especially to be in an English department at a major university. You happen to be a conservative and now spoken one of that.

I've been teaching college for 25 years at seven different universities. I'm the only I'm like the last of the Mohicans. I'm the only conservative Christian English professor I've ever met. That's funny. I've got a friend of mine who is at Cal Poly out in obviously California. And I tell him I said, how do you survive? Man, I mean, how do you how do you deal with with that environment? What's that been like for you in the university setting over the years?

Well, one of the reasons I've been at seven universities guys is because I'm easy to hire up until the rise of the internet where I'm all over the place now they know going in who I am. But for six seven universities, I got hired really easy. But within a semester, they find out who you are. And then they find ways to get rid of you. So I bounced around was teaching at Oklahoma State down that away for a wise and then ended up in Wisconsin. And I managed to get tenure here in spite of everything. So I suppose that's something. That's good. You know, we did an article on the blaze.com here recently about you talking about.

And we'll get into this later on because I want to talk a little more about you. But and this is where people are going to it's going to register and there's going to say, Oh, it's that guy is was talking about the basically the contract you make your students sign before they take your class because again, if you're going to get offended by free speech and things like that. Might as well drop the course right now. And so that's a bold move. And we're going to I want to talk to you a little bit more about that. But of course, you're the director of Freedom Project Academy. And the host of the doctor Duke show folks can find him at freedom project.

com articles and you I mean, you I've been following you now since I learned of you through the articles that I was seeing. And I know that a couple of things you and I see eye to eye, obviously, on a lot of things. But there's some things I want you to help me understand because I get frustrated with with the world of academia today. I get frustrated. You have two daughters that are in two different universities.

And I told them I said, I will not fund bad ideas. I will not fund bad philosophies and bad ideologies. And if you come home and you're spitting out this stuff that I believe is detrimental to your mind and your and your spiritual health and things like that, I'm going to bring you home. Period. Do you see do you see enough parents that are out there sending their kids into these these educational bubbles, which are campuses, the university setting are parents being mindful enough of what the minds are.

That are being created in our kids. I don't think so. No, I mean, what you said is exactly right, Chad, that as somebody who in your cases, paying for the kids education or getting these kids getting into huge debt with student loans, federally back student loans. Most parents don't. In fact, I can't tell you, I've been all over the state, the country speaking about educational issues. And I always meet moms and dads who tell me every single time I speak by the dozens. Yeah, my kid was a good Christian. She was a wonderful patriot. She loved her country. She loved her family.

We love God. And then after two or three years at a major university campus, man, she's coming back and she's lecturing us. She's telling us that our whole world view is corrupt.

David, she's rejected their religion. So most of them aren't. And that's the problem. We keep funding these universities with our taxpayer dollars. And we're sending them to places where traditional values, patriotism, small government, individual rights and liberties, free speech, the second amendment pro life issues are all being completely and utterly revamped and progressivized in college campuses.

And your kids are getting that one monolithic voice. There's no argument. There's no debate on college campuses. And you think about this chat. I mean, your dad, your chat, right?

But your kids are going to these colleges. And in many cases, they're dealing with PhDs, right? These people have four and five degrees. And you got to call them doctors so and so. And it's very intimidating for kids. And then they're surrounded by a peer group of kids their own age, who for the very first time in their life are living away from their parents, indoor rooms,

where every kind of licentiousness and political activism on the left is encouraged. The tremendous peer pressure of the cultural monolithic nature of these cultures, these campuses is very difficult for most kids to keep their faith. Faith in God, faith in self and faith in country. Those are the three things that are primarily under attack at universities.

I'm with you on that. I've heard so many parents around the country and my travels who say, you know, my kid was doing great and then went off to college. And I know that a little bit of knowledge can puff up and especially at that age when you start to learn a few things and you get some bullet points and some arguments and some cannon fodder, you know, some ammunition to bring out there.
