Secular Professor Tactics 101

As a parent or student it will help you to know that in many cases your secular professors have a strategy. They have a goal. A strategy is the big-picture plan to win or achieve that goal. Tactics are the step-by-step methods used to carry it out. I’ve told you before that you can see their goal by how they live their own lives. But now let’s look at their classroom tactics. If you’re a parent or a prospective student, you need to understand the tactics of the secular professor. For many of them, “winning” means leading students to adopt a radical leftist ideology—either by outright agreement or by slow, subtle influence. Agreement isn’t always demanded immediately. Sometimes, all they want is your gradual surrender of confidence in anything else. …

A Guide To Choosing a Humanities Professor

academia, cancel culture, college, Culture and Politics, Goodness, https://drowenanderson.com/, humanities, Legislating Morality, Culture & Politics, Owen Anderson, philosophy, wisdom
Why Does It Matter? I am currently a tenured full professor of philosophy and religious studies at Arizona State University where I have been teaching for 25 years.  During that time, I have seen many humanities professors who claim to be wise but who cannot even teach their students what is good.  They lie to these students and say that their classes and degrees will help them get a job better than other, much more useful degrees.  I wrote this Guide to help you choose a professor.  Choose wisely. If you’re planning to study philosophy, religion, literature, or history, you’ll be taking humanities classes. Even if you don’t major in these fields, you’ll still need to take general education courses in the humanities to graduate. A good humanities class should…

The Scandal of Elite Evangelical Compromise

academia, Apologetics, Big Eva, Bill Dembski, BillDembski.Sustack.com Shepherds for Sale, Christian culture, Christianity, Evangelical, Gospel, Legislating Morality, Culture & Politics, Megan Basham
A blogger I read regularly alerted me to Megan Basham’s new book Shepherds for Sale, subtitled How Evangelical Leaders Traded the Truth for a Leftist Agenda. It was released [at the] end of July. I was intrigued by the book because it claimed to be exposing compromise infecting many evangelical elites, especially among Southern Baptists. As it is, she is a Southern Baptist, and for over a decade I had moved in that world both at the more liberal Baylor University (the “largest Baptist university in the world”) and then at two of the main Southern Baptist seminaries (in Louisville and in Ft. Worth). Baylor president Robert Sloan had hired me in 1999 to found and run an intelligent design think tank (the Michael Polanyi Center). The backlash from Baylor faculty was intense,…
