Everyone, welcome to the conversationsations that Matter Podcast. My name is John Harris. This is an

episode about Grove City College. It's somewhat listener generated. I had a request to review a particular podcast that was recorded at Grove City College, which I'd like to go through at least a few of the clips. It's about an hour and I think 17 minutes or so so we can't go through the whole thing, but I'll bring you to some choice sections so you can get the gist of what was being communicated there and really this

relates to a controversy that's been ongoing since I believe it was early last

fall when or maybe it was late summer I think it was early fall when when I found out about it but the issue

was and is still whether or not Grove City College and the administration there approved

of critical race theory being taught in the chapels, being taught in some course content, and then also being taught to the

RAs, I believe, on campus. And so three major different areas. Now, this is taken on a life of its own, interestingly enough and the way that this has gone down,

broadly speaking is the administration at Grove City College and many of the

professors including Carl Truman is a very prominent professor there have put up

the defense shields and tried to either, to the point that essentially they're bending truth, they're lying,

what's happened there, or and claiming that there really isn't a problem and that it's these

haters it's these horrible people mostly on the internet who have made a

problem where there was no problem and it's very similar to the way

Southern Baptist schools have reacted when they've been called that on the

carpet now the difference I think is that in Southern Baptist circles there is

such a strong guild mentality, allegiance to the Southern Baptist

Convention, reliance on the Southern Baptist Convention, not wanting to rock the boat in the

Southern Baptist Convention because that could prohibit someone in the future from getting paid positions and all the accolades that come with that that the wagons are circled not just in the school but also in the denomination and among all the other entities and so just about

So there's a concerted effort right away to identify and disparage or try to

marginalize somehow anyone who would speak out against or or even just shine a light and say this is happening at one

of their institutions of higher learning.

And so it's kind of like antibodies viewing the person who says this as the virus.
