Summary
From the ‘Whiteness Pandemic’ at Minnesota, to conspiracy theories in Northwestern’s biomedicine classes, to the fallout at Texas A&M. Students are faking beliefs, hiding opinions, and living in fear of speaking honestly. This isn’t higher education. It’s conformity, silence, and indoctrination.

| 0:00.0 | American colleges used to be places where you, I don't know, actually learn things, history, |
| 0:06.6 | science, maybe even how to do laundry without shrinking your clothes. But today, you can spend |
| 0:15.2 | $80,000 a year and your kids walk out knowing less than they did when they walked in. |
| 0:24.1 | In fact, they may be actually confused about what they thought they knew before they got there. |
| 0:32.3 | Look, I've talked about it before. |
| 0:34.7 | A lot of our elite universities have stopped educating and started indoctrinating. |
| 0:42.7 | Now, what do I mean by that? What I mean by that is we've got a whole generation of professors |
| 0:49.6 | who have come in with a set of ideas, a whole ideology that they think they need to push on this |
| 0:59.3 | current generation, that they need to indoctrinate on this captive audience as authority figures |
| 1:06.6 | and get these kids program brainwash thinking the way they think they ought to think. |
| 1:14.3 | Now, I don't know about you, but when I sent my kids to college, |
| 1:19.4 | when Robert and I sat down and said, okay, let's do this, we wanted them to learn facts. |
| 1:26.2 | We wanted them to learn science. We wanted them to learn science. We wanted them to learn things that were consensual. Not some individual's ideology. What do I know about this person? What do I know about their thinking? But it didn't matter if all they were doing was conveying information that was empirical, consensual, |
| 1:47.4 | factual. But that's not what's happening. So what they've done is instead of teaching these |
| 1:53.0 | kids to think for themselves, they've replaced scholarship with activism. What was already a bad |
| 2:00.6 | situation is getting worse. Let's look at some |
| 2:04.2 | headlines. The University of Minnesota program offers guidelines to reverse the whiteness |
| 2:10.0 | pandemic. Let that sink in a minute. The whiteness pandemic. Go look up what pandemic means. You already know what whiteness means. |
| 2:20.2 | Whiteness is just what someone is if they're white. Now it's some kind of disease. It's some kind |
| 2:27.1 | of infection. Here's another headline. Northwestern professor uses biomedicine class to claim |
| 2:33.9 | Israel deliberately killed its own citizens on |
| 2:36.9 | October 7th. Now, don't let that fly by. A biomedicine class. So you go in and sign up for a course |
