Where There's Woke

A sequel! Dr. Kenneth Mayer, a University of Wisconsin-Madison professor, was publicly blasted by a student - first in an article on The College Fix, and then to millions of viewers tuning into Fox News with Tucker Carlson - because of a paragraph he wrote in the 2019 Spring semester syllabus for a Political Science course. That's right... there was a segment on Fox News about... a syllabus. NAY. A single paragraph in a syllabus. Unbelievable.   Later we talk about how, while both Dr. Ponce from WTW34 and Dr. Mayer had tenure; what happens when you don't? We'll hear about Dr. Michael Phillips and his fight after his contract was not renewed with Texas's Collin College.   Dr. Mayer's report to the Court for the current Wisconsin redistricting efforts! Be sure to check out SIO episodes 405 and 418 with expert Joe Magestro for more information on what's been happening there.   Feel free to email us at lydia@seriouspod.com or thomas@seriouspod.com!

Ayaan Hirsi Ali, former atheist leader, discusses her conversion to Christianity. Topics include the problems with Islam and evangelizing in Muslim communities, the state of Christianity in America, analyzing beliefs and woke ideology, misconceptions of woke ideology, transitioning views on God, and a woman's perspective on radical Islam.

If you were a part of the New Atheism movement at all, you likely remember the person many called the 5th horse-person of atheism, Ayaan Hirsi Ali. Welp. She recently wrote an essay revealing that she has converted to Christianity. Why, you might wonder? To fight the woke. For real. Well, and to hate Islam better. So we brought in Heath Enwright, of the Scathing Atheist, among other great shows, to help us break down this bizarre conversion!
