My friend and colleague Dennis Prager often warns his national radio audience, Everything the Left touches it destroys. There is no clearer evidence of Pragers wisdom than the Bolshevik gulag now being constructed on the former site of one of Americas most respected institutions of higher learning located on the Brazos River in Waco, Texas: Baylor University.
Prager, of course, is probably the wrong guy to cite since he actually built a thriving, intellectually-honest, albeit online university (www.PragerU.com). Meanwhile, someone named Linda Livingstone, PhD, is currently presiding over the intellectual destruction of one chartered in 1845. Livingstone, Baylors 15th president, is billed in her official bio as a strong voice for the role of faith based institutions in American education. Whichcall me crazyseems at odds with a racially-divisive Baylor video she just posted titled, A Conversation on Race, Peacemaking and Conciliation.
In the video, Livingstone recounts how At Baylor, we value our faculty, staff, students and friends of color. Black lives absolutely matter at Baylor. So far, so good. But then she and selected faculty members careen wildly off course delivering over an hour of parroting what the left has been shoving down our throats over these exhausting past few weeks.
Joining the video discussion are three Baylor professors:
Over the course of this digital conversation, viewers are subjected to politically-correct claptrap such as Dr. Garretts outrageous assertion that White people swim in this ocean of whiteness where they dont have to think about who they are or acknowledge the benefits theyve gained from that experience. And Dr. Moody-Ramirezs myopic view that the vote by the Minneapolis city council to actually dissolve the citys police force represents (her words) more progress. And Mr. Foley bats cleanup, declaring that racialized whitenessanother term straight out of George Orwellhas led Caucasians to wallow in what he calls Strategic Ignorance: There are some things that people dont know because it is in their best interest not to know it, so Whites need to self-interrogate why they feel superior to other races. You get the idea.
Like an outtake from the Blu-Ray directors cut of One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest, this collection of biased and ill-informed professors collectively nod their heads at the goofy concept of needing to re-narrate history. Spoiler Alert: history is history, not what academicians reimagine.
The dialogue among these three educatorspunctuated with periodic gushings by Linda Livingstone, PhD, of how valuable and insightful each of their utterances isactually subtracts from the sum total of human knowledge. It also angers Baylor graduates like my wife and a number of my friends who cant fathom that their alma mater has fallen so far from its original Christian roots. Baylor now charges parents the usurious sum of $62,000 a year to have this kind of drivel brainwashing unsuspecting students, who then return home to school their nearly-bankrupt parents on how racist they are and how they must atone for their so-called white privilege. But only after paying the balance to the Bursars Office.
This feeble video dialogue presented by Baylors president does precisely zero to bring the races together in America. Maybe it makes the self-congratulating participants feel hip or woke. But how does it further any trajectory in a positive direction: Does it make fathers more responsible? Are inner-city schools stronger? Are fewer people on welfare? And how does anyone posting black squares on Instagram change the life of even one human being in our nation? Why not just collectively agree that hatred, violence, and other sins against humanity are bad for all of us and stop stereotyping anyone?
Back in October 2017, in her inaugural message as Baylors 15th president, Linda Livingstone, PhD, stated: The calling before us is challenging, yet significant. We must be bold in our aspirations. Because the world needs a place like Baylor.
In 2020, the world still needs a place like Baylor. But the real Baylor, not this spineless, watered-down version led by faculty and administrators who have clearly abandoned the high standards and Biblical foundation set forth by ordained Baptist minister Robert Emmett Bledsoe Baylor in 1845. Scripture does not recognize or accept demonizing anyone by skin color. Just the opposite: it states clearly that when God created mankind, he made them in the likeness of God all of them all of us!
F them.
I recently met with Robert Sloan, past president of Baylor and now president of Houston Baptist University. Baylor has fallen away to being completely secular. We discussed the so called prayer at graduation - Deliver us from the straight white male barf. Ichabod. The glory has departed.
The first thing you need to do is to expose every one of these lying evil people, their salaries and working hours, and their hatred for Torah. If you want to see some real righteous people go down the river a ways to Rio de Dios, an intentional Christian community where people live with integrity and really love and respect one another. You can see the real America on display there at Homestead Heritage Village, located in Elm Mott, Texas. Videos on YouTube.
Rich.... considering Baylor’s history and it’s rather extensive.
Oops... I said history. Prolly get doxxed or some such nonsense.
The stories I could tell that they don’t want you to know.
