How a University Turned Jesus Into an Oppressor — One Professor's Fight Against DEI with Dr. Owen Anderson 12.05.2026 54dkHave you noticed that the world has collectively lost its mind? Between the push to "decolonize" education and the rise of mandatory DEI training, the landscape of the American university has shifted from a place of open inquiry to a battlefield of competing ideologies.
