| 0:00.0 | It's Thursday, February 5th, 2006. I'm Albert Moller, and this is the briefing, a daily analysis of news and events from a Christian worldview. |
| 0:14.3 | One of the reasons why the ideological left was able to get away with so much in American higher education for so long, |
| 0:22.6 | is that conservatives have given too little attention to what's going on in that arena. |
| 0:29.1 | And furthermore, this has been the arena of the left. |
| 0:32.2 | Increasingly, ever since the midpoint of the 20th century, university and college faculties |
| 0:37.3 | have grown more and more liberal. |
| 0:38.9 | And of course, that's a generalization. They're conservative colleges. There are conservative |
| 0:42.3 | faculties. But they are the exceptions. The norm has been a very significant lurch to the left. |
| 0:49.9 | And in some cases, a lurch to the far left in terms of that entire environment of higher education. |
| 0:55.4 | So we go to the campus of a college or university, and what you're going to find is a succession |
| 1:00.4 | of programs, emphases, of system of activism, DEI, diversity, equity, inclusion, identity, |
| 1:07.7 | politics, special studies, programs, and all the rest. I want to talk a little bit about |
| 1:11.7 | how that works and why even undoing this a little bit does matter. So, for example, the New York |
| 1:18.3 | Times this past week had a headline, Texas A&M alters classes and ends women's studies. Okay, interesting. |
| 1:26.3 | So now you have a major university, Texas A&M, one of the better known |
| 1:30.1 | universities in the country, one of the leading state universities in our national network. Texas A&M |
| 1:36.4 | has ended women's studies. Now, that doesn't mean that at Texas A&M there's not going to be |
| 1:41.5 | research on women and or on all kinds of issues. |
| 1:47.0 | It is to say there is no department of women's studies. |
| 1:50.0 | There is no longer going to be a curricular reality, which is a significant faculty investment |
| 1:57.0 | and specific curricular assignment to the field of women's studies. This really is big |
| 2:02.7 | news because that field of women's studies is just from the get-go, it's ideologically to the left. |
