Episode notes
Critical Theory Labels People By Identity
- Cultural Marxism/classical critical theory sorts people into oppressor and oppressed groups based on identity categories, not personal behavior.
- Dr. Anderson and Frank note this makes Jesus and Paul count as 'oppressors' under that rubric.
Professor Called For Armed Resistance Untouched
- ASU had a history professor publicly call for armed resistance against the U.S. and Israel; Owen posted video evidence and noted ASU took no action despite faculty being state employees under contract.
- He argues such calls violate employment contracts and should be discipline matters.
Christian Bias Claim Dropped Points From Review
- Owen received a lower teaching score after a student evaluation accused him of 'teaching Christianity', despite his class following the catalog and using Job and Ecclesiastes.
- He appealed and requested the objective rubric but the dean kept the deduction and cited quiz samples.
