and it sounds to me like when i went to the university, in the 70s, because it was described as it s a class where diverse views actually people who hold different opinions are presented about topics we wouldn t or couldn t or shouldn t even talk about. that s the way it used to be. you wanted to hear make up your own mind. now it s just all lopsided to the left it seems. yeah. the woke left, in particular. so that s what we want to do. we want to create the infrastructure that gives students the tools to make better decisions to think through problems. this is not a small task. very ambitious project particularly when we are facing several multiple mask allusions at one time with regard to the dominant moral orthodoxy. to speak freely and to open your mind and to be exposed to multiple ideas, competing ideas and to understand how to engage. this is a remarkable experience

anti-american notions and, school selectivity and we see what is happening with asians in the country being systematically discriminated against. and, yes, there is institutionalized racism and that s a great example of it. so, we have had enough. we people are giving money for both the individual level and on a global level. they are worried about the united states competitiveness internationally. steve: obviously, you feel so strong about it peter boghossiaan. steve: he is appearing portland time 3:47 so people all across the country can hear about the university of austin. thank you very much. thanks, steve. appreciate it. steve: good luck. on this friday continue 12 days of giving series with samaritan s purse. helping people worldwide and you can join them. the president s ceo franklin graham is live in the studio to
the calendar year 2024 it will open down in texas. but, last summer. in austin. steve: that s why they call it the university of austin. correct. steve: last summer, you had what you call forbidden classes in dallas at a location. why do you call them forbidden classes? that s a great question. because there are topics and subjects and ideas that people cannot speak freely about on university campuses, gender, race, sexual orientation and we wanted to give people an opportunity to speak openly and honestly, sincere people who have sincere questions. we want to give them the opportunity to ask those questions from not only experts in the field but renowned people intellectuals engage those conversations which are simply not happening at public universities right now. steve: i read the description of some of these forbidden classes that were taught down in dallas over the summer.
