Welcome to the conversations that matter of

podcast my name is John Harris we are going to talk a little bit more

today about Grove City College and the situation there with

parents who have written a petition against the college. It's not even

against the college. It's actually for the college. It's trying to get the college to

take a stand on the critical race theory debate in of course the negative position against critical race theory and

then the response of the president and the now Carl Truman has come out

with his own response defending the school and I want to talk about all of this because I did not do anything close to a deep dive I still haven't done a deep deep dive but I was very encouraged this is why I talked

about Grove City College in the last episode was I was very encouraged that there was

an outlet the American reformer that decided to peel the onion layers back and actually take on an issue at a

conservative, politically conservative, evangelical institution.

And you don't see that often, you do not, it just isn't done.

And it's left up to mostly people who are working class,

who don't have the academic jobs or I made the whole point so I don't want to make it again

but the long and short of it is the people who should be doing this kind of work

who we would expect to defend our way of life and

especially biblical truth are the kinds of people who are caving and not saying

anything and bending to institutional pressure more than

anyone else.

And it's left up to mostly working class people to write blogs about what's happening

in their neck of the woods. And so that's been the way it has been

going and this was in my opinion an aberration this was a fairly new publication
