So, when and where do we see the series? I am certainly interested and will have my twins watch it as they are both seniors in high school getting ready for college.
Hello professors, I work and learn at a large university. When I told my students that our county has no mask mandate and they have the freedom to choose in my class, not one student unmasked for entire 2.5-hour class. I do not think they believed they had a choice because the school displays red masking signs at every entrance and most professors do not allow such freedom. I look forward to hearing more from you.
Excellent series, deserves wide exposure. Extremely clear. Damning about how ed schools promote whole-word reading instruction, which hurts low-income students.
Asher focuses on the consequences of the huge expansion in administrators in the last decade, most if not all trained in social justice ideology in schools of education. I note that their push for student activism complements and reinforces the ideology taught by the professariat. If we wonder why students are woke, these are the two main reasons.
I'm not sure if Asher mentions the following, so consider this an addendum to his series: in undergraduate ed, there's been a proliferation of programs (beyond "semester abroad"), largely to help students with their resumes for professional school, but also for burnishing credentials for participation in formal social justice activism. A cadre of administrators is needed to design and run these programs. But in addition, these programs (some of which attractively pay the students) cut across or have the potential to cut across schedules for normal classes, as well as the students' schedules for athletics, hobbies, and paid work. It seems to me likely that every undergrad student now needs to consult with an administrator to figure out their schedule, every semester. Which--here's the point--means that administrators have one-on-one opportunities to influence students toward courses and programs that the administrators like. This also is new in the last 20 years.
Is there a longer video of the professor speaking the full text in this post? If so, I want to forward it to others. Two edited minutes isn’t enough. I wanted to hear the part about EO Wilson and Westmoreland, etc. These examples are very helpful to the narrative. Please don’t shy away from longer videos.
It’s frightening to think about college for my grandchildren. Trade schools more important than ever.
Thank you. I am very much looking forward to this important series.
Excellent! I’m looking forward to this series. Thank you.

And if these stories and more are covered in later episodes, then my apologies.
I look forward to this series. It has been a puzzle to me how the educational system has morphed into what we see today.
