It is good to be courageous and stand your ground for what you think is right.

I think he's impersonating his twin brother BookerT. Bradshaw.

Amy Wax has spent her entire life with that hooked nose of hers in books without learning anything about normal human behavior. The purpose of education is action. Having more degrees than the people who sign your checks isn’t what I call winning.

The academy is lost. It won't be won back. We need new institutions.

I was there at this demonstration. Although I was pro-Israel to begin with, the speakers at this protest presented no evidence nor reasonable arguments to change my heart or mind. I actually thought that the protesters acted more like toddlers with rage than with Ivy League students with reason. This is what is a perfect example of the depths the Ivy League has descended to at taxpayers expense.

Why do so many of them have masks on?

“When comparing high performing students the US does well” Nathan Guinn Thank you NGSS!

Countries are not compatible. But you just debunked your own statement about US.

Who is the expert here on K-6? I hear you think there are problems but no experience or solutions with evidence. K-6 weaknesses have nothing to do with NGSS. NGSS has actually opened a path for k-6 teachers.

Middle Level science must be certified in middle level. They must pass the certification test.

“It is not a wand you wave alone” “We have not cured science education” 🤔

Judith not sure the Franklin standards want to talk about the Covid Vaccines and religion.

“Repeat until it sinks in?” Randy no need to do that with NGSS

Judith you did a fantastic job of describing exactly what NGSS brings to the classroom. The men in the room were stunned begging for debate on the issue but the men seemed to not even know what Judith said. Was the woman in the room not important enough to respect?

What is rigor and how do the Franklin Standards address rigor?

Teachers need foundational instruction in college. That is where the US is failing. Standards should not be used to “teach” teachers.

Standards are not curriculum and yet you refer to instructional practices not the standards.

We had one k-12 teacher voice? And he wants to teach how he learned?

You failed to address parental concerns in the public schools filled with “all the kids we ‘have’ to take”?

“I worked at some of the darkest places” Nathan Guinn. Really? That is what you call those schools?

“I am not a physics guy” Nathan Guinn 🤔 interesting comment

Gender critical feminism is a pleonasm 😊

I need to add that those of us who believe in free speech and Western values in general devote most of our time trying to explain what has happened to us. We devote precious little time to what we are going to do about it. Professor Wax has held her ground and will take the fight to the courts, if necessary but whatever the outcome, she probably never will be able to be the professor she was. I believe she knows this. And, the anti-free speech cabal may even take away our last line of defense, which is the courts. After all, once the other side stacks the Supreme Court, as they have promised, the Constitution becomes a dead letter. Under such conditions in the not so distant past, we burned heretics or simply "disappeared" them to the gulag. As a society, we currently accept murder of aborted babies; such a society won't lose any sleep at sending a heretic to the gulag. .

Of course, the people most harmed by the nonsense are the "native" Americans themselves, as if they needed an additional force keeping them impoverished.

This was excellent. So refreshing to hear clear discussion around such a volatile issue these days. There were two points near the end that I wish had more discussion. I did not watch the minute mark unfortunately, but 1) Kathleen seems to say that being trans is a choice. I'm pickled in decades of being told that being gay is not a choice. I don't believe it is a choice, but I have only the word of gay people I know on the subject. I choose to believe them. Does Kathleen believe that being gay is a choice? Apparently she distinguishes between being gay and being trans and I would have liked a little more discussion there. Why isn't it possible that being trans is not a choice? Also 2) the issue of trans people in sports comes up a lot. I get push back from my young sons, who have gone to university and absorbed a lot of this stuff, and they say basically "prove it, prove that it makes a difference. The evidence isn't there." When you hear out loud that trans men participating in women's sports are pushing women off of the podium I believe this intuitively. It makes sense that a body that went through puberty as a male would be different. But still, I don't think you can just say these things without providing specific examples. It would be more compelling. This really was fantastic. We need to here this voice in the US, not just the right wingers frothing at the mouth about it. It makes a difference that Kathleen is a lesbian. I wish it didn't, but it does.

Desperately, engaging with NAS , Evolution & Humanity: Ethical- Modern Action ✌️

We need more of this “truth to power”

Widdowson: "So in terms of trying to combat some of these problems we're seeing in universities, do you think there is something that would really assist us in trying to stop the curation of academic freedom in universities? " Privatizing all universities would solve the problem. The huge increase in public funding and control of higher education since WWII and especially the Sixties has resulted in unis becoming breeding grounds for MANY harmful ideologies. Returning funding control to the 'people', who consistently poll and survey as disliking Woke, would naturally accomplish this goal. Thus: the answer is freedom. I've talked about this a length on my channel.

I too was forced to retire from teaching in the CSU system. My area is political science and therefore the politics is part of what I teach. All of the ideologies with which our colleagues are pummeling us have their roots in Marxist ideology. Race is simply a shill for class, the original object of supposed oppression, which had to change in order to accommodate the ability of class advancement in capitalist countries.

I remember when Boy Scouts was torn apart. Just listen to Stock as if she was defending Boy Scouts as being for boys.

Nobody has a problem with anyone developing cleaner fuels. It's forcing us to give up existing ones before there's a viable alternative that makes people angry. Their uncertainty in the science and their "solutions" makes the topic all the more irritating. They are irrational.

47:32 Have there been notable change in the demographics at universities over the past 40 years? Have the identity politics changes clustered around certain subject areas where certain demographics are most prevalent? Are there other subject areas with different demographics which have a greater resistance to identity politics?

I guess that if you can be a Tolkien scholar than anything is possible.

If you think about gender ideology as a religion, then all the confusion, contradictions, and exceptionalism make sense. It functions like a religion, with supernatural beliefs (gendered essence), dogma, special language, blasphemy (misgendering, deadnaming), with themes of original sin (born in the wrong body), redemption, sacrifice etc etc.

We already have facilities for the disabled, why can't they use them? It's because they are psychopathic in their desire to transgress women's boundaries.

We should have stood our ground, we are Classical Liberals NOT Woke and shouldn't have let them push us into an epistemic corner. They are anti liberal, anti rational, political activists we are not anti trans.

In the inteo Kathleen omitted to explain Stonewall is very well finded by government grants. The establishment is funding queer theory - the dismantling of society.

It's a shame that nobody listens to these fantastic lectures. Why did you stop doing this amazing video? I'll watch every single video. Come back with new authors, please!!!!thanks for sharing these pearls with us.

Such a good conversation. Happy my daughter is starting at Catholic this Fall.

Kathleen Stocks got the lot! Super woman 🦸‍♂️

Wrong answer Bootcamp! U.S. Military officers are trained to have no loyalty to any man. They are loyal only to The Constitution, and they are NEVER obligated to follow any unjust, immoral or illegal order. Mason, your guest doesn't know what he's talking about!

They ate dedensitzing the FBI and police to terrorize the innocent and not question orders

fair-minded, informed, honest, refreshing, excellent, thank you

Why does explaining how your research will promote DEI undermine the integrity of your research, but explaining how your research will provide a return to the taxpayer does not? Are 'returns on investment to the taxpayer' now part of the scientific method?

To the Narrator! PLEASE don't move or touch your mike. Please.

Cornell is NOT at the forefront of establishing rationality in discussions in the Academy. Just the opposite.

Climate science was fixed when Curry retired 7 years ago.

Jon Schaff gave a lot of good points. Appreciate all the insights!
