“Soft power can be more damaging and can weaken a nation and a people even more than bullets or bombs,” says Asra Nomani. In a recent episode of “American Thought Leaders,” host Jan Jekielek sat down with Asra Nomani, Muslim reformer and now advocate of parental rights, to discuss liberal values, the line between free…
Peter Boghossian: Hiding People From Truth Does Not Protect Them—Academic Institutions, DEI Bureaucracies, and Ideological Capture
“It’s a tremendous danger when we have people who run institutions and who have jobs for life in the academies, they’re completely convinced they found the truth, they publish in their own journals, they teach those ‘truths’ to their students, and then they’ve indoctrinated generations of students.” Peter Boghossian is a former professor of philosophy…
