The Energy Question Episode 59 Stanley Ridgley, Author of the Best Seller, "Brutal Minds"
In Episode 59 of The Energy Question, David Blackmon interviews Dr. Stanley Ridgley about his best-selling book, "Brutal Minds." "Brutal Minds" is a devastating critique of leftwing brainwashing of students taking place on our university campuses today.
The book describes how an entire class of unqualified non-faculty administrators running Student Affairs departments on most college campuses in the U.S. implement have been using Maoist brainwashing techniques to indoctrinate unsuspecting students with Critical Race Theory propaganda in this century.
This reality was the motivating reason why Texas Gov. Greg Abbott ordered all state universities to eliminate DEI departments and programs recently, but Dr. Ridgley explains that that move will not resolve the issue unless further steps are taken to root out the ideologues who push this agenda through Student Affairs departments.
This is one of the most frightening books I've read in recent years. It is an important read for anyone who has children or grandchildren who will be entering college in the coming years.
