You're interpretating his words very narrowly. He could be talking about any kind of political or ideological views or prejudices here. If what one has taught one's children has a sound basis, I don't see what there is to fear from exposing young people to new knowledge and debate.
I interpret his words in the context they were spoken. The man has no little for people who are uneducated. I also find the man's policy hypocritical. From his Bio it appears he was struggling with his religious beliefs for some time and only after years of graduate study did he seemingly lose some or most of his faith or at the very least significantly altered his faith. This man could not give himself a letter of recommendation if he was that stuggling undergraduate student he once was. I guess he figures after one semester of his class, he expects his students to reach the same level of enlightment he believes he has now obtained.

If Dini just stuck to knowledge and debate of the subject that he taught that would be one thing. But Dini uses coercive tactics to try to alter religious beliefs of students, and I find that repulsive. The more I learn about Dini, the more repulsed of him I get.
