Becoming Indoctrinated into Social Justice

The guest discusses her experience of being indoctrinated into social justice ideology during her time in college over 20 years ago. She explains how she was introduced to critical race theory and queer theory through her minor in women's studies, which she viewed as a kind of religion. She highlights that this belief system operates on the idea of a power struggle between identity groups, and the solution to all problems is seen as redistributing power. She also mentions the redefining of words like racism and sexism in this ideology, which she believes ultimately leads to treating people differently based on race and sex.
