In this episode, Alan presents an overview of Thomas Sowell's concept of "Moral Crusades" and how they differ from ideological causes and movements.
The 11 distinguishing characteristics of a moral crusade are described and quotes from Sowell's books are used to illustrate how he viewed these characteristics.
Paul Rossi joins Alan on the podcast to discuss this concept and to reflect on how it applies to his experience standing up to and pushing back against the moral crusades which had engulfed the elite New York City private high school where he taught mathematics for 9 years.
