Peter Boghossian at Northern Arizona University | Event Highlights

This video includes campus interviews, pre and post-event interviews, and highlights from the event at Northern Arizona University (part of the Social Justice Reverse Q&A Tour.)
This was our first event using the epistemological format, which we continually improved throughout the tour. In future events, we switched to a Likert Scale (strongly agree to strongly disagree) versus having students choose either "agree" or "disagree."

Did you talk to any college graduates you disagree with who have media training and time to prepare before you talked to them? Oh that's right, you're never gonna do that. You're a coward.

[@terfalicious]

Blue-hair guy very articulate, and surprisingly rational/balanced in his POV. Honestly I had judged him on his appearance, but was pleasantly disabused of this prejudice when he spoke. We may not agree on how to 'fix' the issues of inequity, but hearing thoughtful people speak and LISTEN to others respectfully is a huge first step!

[@ProkofNY]

He made some good points that are frequently on my mind. If we value the individual, we also need to take into account that children do not pick the circumstances of their birth. To be able to close the racial achievement gap in education and break the cycle of generational poverty would be the best way to address issues that derive from the racism of the past. Our efforts need to be focused on this matter. Yet, these critical pedagogies currently being implemented present no solutions in terms of improving literacy rates, performance in math, etc. The focus now is on politicizing education and rendering kids unable to think critically about complex matters. It truly frustrates me.

[@hanskellerhuis5910]

But he did talk about the 'paradox of tolerance' meaning being tolerant to all ideas can be intolerant and infringing on freedom of expression for others. Example would be handy But that is a paradox in itself. Intolerance to achive tolerance? For ideas? Expressed thoughts? That idea wouldn't make it passed his own rule. Claiming that there are two genders is endangering people according to some so maybe Mr. Greenhair or Mrs. Yellowhair would not allow us to say that if they were in power. I am all for him expressing that idea so he can get feedback on how dangerous this has proven to be. To overcome bad ideas it is vital we hear and speak abut them. The debat on free speech feels like one big repetition.

Look at the banners. This was sponsored by TPUSA at NAU - a conservative media outlet holding a conference in northern Arizona. Of course you're only going to get people/students who actually think about the issue, consider facts and have some empathy for different opinions. This would have gone completely differently if it was sponsored by TPUSA ANYWHERE on the East or West coast. In Portland (for example), they would have burned the venue to the ground before letting a reasoned opinion that differs from the group think be heard.

[@alwayswatching4351]

He will never have a conversation with anyone over 25 who has had media training and disagrees with him. He's not even a man, much less a professor. He quit his professor job because people were incredulous to him. Then later we found out he was a jerk to other faculty, university staff, and was abusive to students as well. A man would never behave that way. And you're a loser. Only losers have heroes into adulthood.

[@Durzo1259]

Workshops like this are heresy. They must be quashed at all cost because disagreeing with their opinion can trigger, thus making it an assault. That's how you know they're right, by virtue of the fact that you're not allowed to challenge them.

@SCOTT MILLER I assume you are talking presidency. Frankly I don't think my vote is worth anything for the presidency, I did vote but the two candidates you get to vote for are so vetted by the parties and so beholden to a few elite politicians that most of the time we don't get a choice worth making. I have voted libertarian a few times because if they get enough votes they get more respect and money for next time. But I don't agree with everything the libertarian party says either. I do spend much more time studying local elections and voting knowledgably in those races and issues.

[@nixonagnewreviews7206]

Geezer needs a haircut though 🤣

[@billpennock8585]

@SCOTT MILLER I don't remember who but what I look for is smaller government, more emphasis on private voluntary transaction solutions. Personally I have a problem with almost anyone who wants public office because they can only want it because they want to use force to have things they way they think they should be. There is a conceit in nearly everyone to believe that "I have thought this or that through a lot and I believe I am the one who is right". Only mature people know that others say the same thing and are diametrically opposed to what you think. Only egotists believe they are so right they should be able to pass laws to make it so. So I try to find the few that at least sort of seem to believe in the foundation of this country which is STRICTLY limited government. All rights not specifically granted to government are left with the people. And "the people" doesn't mean elected officials on behalf (a pure hoax) of "the people". Sadly in most of the discussions of the constitution the primary goals are lost in stupid details.

I graduated from NAU in December of 2019 with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. I was hesitant to watch this video, as I’ve seen some pretty disastrous college-campus videos. However, I was fairly surprised by not only the content but the replies. This is the first time since graduating that I’ve had a sense of pride in the school. The discussion seen in this video is very similar to any other discussion that I had in my “liberal studies” classes (I hate that we called them that, they were really just classes that exposed us to varying world views). Students were encouraged to express differing opinions, and there was never any hostility between students, at least in my classes.

[@kyle2]

NAU is the Harvard of the west!

[@pro-seriesfabrication3810]

Couple of things that get left out of the property tax/bad schools/generational poverty argument: 1. "Bad" schools/low property tax areas are dominated by Democrats. Considerably more students are in "generational poverty" in blue voting areas than in red ones. There's a disconnect between voting Democrat and then seeing what that vote gets you. Mostly the result of voting Democrat for these areas is, as noted, "generational poverty". 2. In almost every case of an extremely articulate "conservative", they had to overcome the odds they were born with. The first person that comes to mind is Thomas Sowell. The guy is born into an extremely poor family, his father dies shortly after being born, his mother has to raise him and his 5 siblings, the house is off a dirt road with no running water or electricity in the mid-1930s. Moves to New York (knowing almost no one) to live with his aunt because his mother cannot care for 5 kids and only by virtue of his cousin getting him a library card, did Sowell gain an understanding of the need for education. These "generational poverty" areas have zero emphasis on the need for education. Abysmal test scores, high dropout rates, little parental involvement, etc. Gangs are more prevalent than book clubs. Easier to find drugs than a calculator, etc. Of the situations I am aware of (here in Atlanta), the City of Atlanta schools spend around $20,000 per student (the highest public school expenditure per student in GA) and are rewarded with mid-tier test results in the state. For reference, the national average of a generic school system is $12,500. So you have a school system spending 55% more than the national average and routinely place in the bottom 1/3 of school systems in a state, than in and of itself, places in the bottom 1/3rd in the country. The left cannot stand accountability for a myriad of reasons. For people who routinely claim to be the arbiters of "science", there's zero application of the scientific method and specifically the Analysis/Conclusion phase. Money has little to do with educational ability and upward mobility. Ideology is incredibly more effective at lifting someone out of poverty than taking money from others at the hands of a government who cares almost nothing for accountability.

[@proudatheist2042]

As a former teacher in inner city schools, I can add on from experience that fatherless homes are what the majority of students with behavioral issues come from. I can also tell you that I have seen in schools that students are not held appropriately accountable for their behaviors. Just one chronically misbehaving student can stop the academic learning that needs to happen.

[@pro-seriesfabrication3810]

@@proudatheist2042 Anecdotally, that is my observation as well. I worked for about 5 months in a large project home development in Atlanta back in 2006/2007. That development was completely bulldozed shortly thereafter but what I saw there will probably last my lifetime. We would have events there paid by outside sources and it was rare to see a man at any of these things. 99% women in line for food & clothing, a mass of kids outside, and zero men. And this stuff wasn't during the week with a plausible excuse of the men being at work. We'd do these during the evenings and on weekends. Fatherhood establishes, if nothing else, a hierarchy of authority and accountability. It would be interesting to see the statistics of criminals and if they had a father who lived at home. Of what I've seen, the father is almost impossible to find for most of these guys (mass shooters, career criminals, etc)

[@jeffg7478]

60 years of welfare and the “war on poverty” that has spent trillions of dollars in the very areas that were spoken of has produced no results whatsoever and yet the same tired arguments are trotted out with the same predictable results. This is because the stated goals of equality are not the actual, achievable reality. Instead the policies are designed to suppress success and engender dependence which creates a permanent voting block. Similar with immigration policies. Solving these issues, to the extent that’s workable, harms the ruling class.
