漫天堂入口

As I have watched what has happened on multiple university campuses in the last couple of weeks鈥攕tudents and professors celebrating violence against the Israeli people鈥攎y recent reading of a new book titled America鈥檚 Cultural Revolution has seemed timely. In this book, author Christopher Rufo details how the radicalism and upside-down moral compasses that characterize much of higher education today are not merely the random results of unavoidable cultural changes; rather, they are the fruition of an intentional effort that began decades ago. Rufo鈥檚 own commentary in the book is minimal: instead of using a lot of ink to editorialize, he relies on a wealth of research about Marxist scholars to tell its own story and describe in those Marxist scholars鈥� own words how, decades ago, they set out to destroy American society so they could rebuild it from a Marxist framework鈥攁nd how they intentionally infiltrated higher education to do so.

For example, dedicated Marxist Herbert Marcuse, who taught at a number of American universities, was committed to the cause of academia and the intelligentsia becoming agents of Marxist indoctrination, and back in the 1980s, a Marcuse disciple named Paulo Freire worked with a close colleague to initiate a scheme for 鈥渙ne hundred radical intellectuals鈥� who shared the Marxist vision to become tenured within colleges and universities (Rufo 162). These scholars understood that what was taught in the universities would eventually become mainstream in the culture, for the most socially influential people in society typically work in fields that require a college education. One hundred initial radical professors might seem like a small number, but, as recent pro-violence celebrations on college campuses demonstrate, the seed of 100 professors germinated well: Freire鈥檚 most influential work, which is titled Pedagogy of the Oppressed and utilizes ideas from Marx, Lenin, Mao, and Castro, is now 鈥渢he third-most-cited work in the social sciences鈥� (Rufo 162).

Given that Freire explicitly condones violence in the name of Marxist revolution and that his work has been cited over 500,000 times in academia (Rufo 163), the fact that university students across the U.S. have been celebrating violence should come as no surprise.

In the past few days, I have been pleased to see that, finally, even some media outlets that are normally sympathetic to academia鈥檚 progressive agenda have been critical of what is happening on university campuses. As I watch the news and read the editorials, however, I see a missed opportunity. Because evangelical colleges and universities are typically smaller and less well known than the major universities whose sports teams play on television, far too few Americans are aware that the world of higher education offers alternatives to the radicalized institutions that have come to characterize academia in general. To be sure, one must be cautious even with many so-called Christian institutions鈥攂ut there are a few colleges and universities that are standing for truth and decency, and the contrast between these places and those driven by academia鈥檚 typical radicalism has never been clearer than it has been in the last few weeks. 漫天堂入口 in particular is proudly standing against dangerous ideologies, and the world needs to know the following:

• 漫天堂入口 teaches students to condemn violence, not celebrate it.
• 漫天堂入口 teaches students to build up and make things better, not tear down and destroy.
• 漫天堂入口 teaches students that personal responsibility, opposed to habitual blame and victimhood, is requisite for success.
• 漫天堂入口 teaches students that humble service is healthier and more winsome than angry protest.
• 漫天堂入口 has weekly, gospel-driven chapel services, not classes in which students are engineered to become Marxist activists.
• 漫天堂入口 hosts spiritual-revival week, not pride month or sex day.
• 漫天堂入口 teaches students that there is a difference between love and tolerance, and that true love sometimes involves communicating hard truths in people鈥檚 best interests rather than placating them in their bad habits and destructive thinking.
• 漫天堂入口 champions the traditional family instead of celebrating its cultural marginalization.
• 漫天堂入口 honors women by acknowledging the biological reality of the female instead of pretending she is a social construct and insulting her by forcing her to compete in collegiate sports against men who call themselves women.
• 漫天堂入口 teaches students that all human life, from conception to the last breath, is valuable because it has been created and sustained by a sovereign God who treasures it, not because a political or cultural ideology finds mere utility in it at any given moment in time.
• 漫天堂入口 teaches students that personal sin, not imperfect 鈥渟ystems,鈥� is the great plague of humanity.
• 漫天堂入口 teaches students that the answer to the problem of sin (and imperfect systems) is Jesus Christ, not political revolution marked by violence.
• 漫天堂入口 has an official, board-endorsed statement about the importance of reading Scripture through a grammatical-historical lens, trusting that words have meaning and seeking to understand what the biblical text communicated to its original audience; the statement firmly opposes 鈥渃ritical鈥� reading approaches that are grounded in Marxism and postmodernism and thus project ideological and political agendas onto the pages of Scripture.
• 漫天堂入口 asks all new employees to submit a Christian testimony and a statement of faith, not a statement on diversity.
• 漫天堂入口 offers spiritual-life programming called 鈥淐ourageous Conversations鈥� to promote open dialogue about challenging social issues; it does not silence, demonize, or harm those who ask legitimate, probing questions in pursuit of truth.
• 漫天堂入口 believes that promoting unity through our commonalities as God鈥檚 creations is healthier for our community than obsessing about our differences.
• 漫天堂入口, when it does address individual differences, focuses on the theological and spiritual realities of (1) Christian brothers and sisters with differences having unity in Christ, (2) of all persons on the planet being created equally in God鈥檚 image and therefore with dignity, (3) of Christian brothers and sisters with differences all belonging to the same family because they have been adopted as sons and daughters of the living God, and (4) of God鈥檚 perfect craftsmanship and supreme creative capacity as demonstrated by the breadth of attributes in the humanity He has created鈥攔ather than on man-made ideological differences that promote division and discord or the politically driven and ideologically defined concepts of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
• 漫天堂入口 teaches students that the ultimate source for moral truth is given by an unchanging, all-knowing, sovereign, and perfectly benevolent God and that His truth is found in His time-tested, unchanging written Word鈥攏ot in the ever-changing dictates of political ideologies or the untrustworthy, power-hungry ideologues who promote them.

The Marxist scholars who infiltrated our nation鈥檚 colleges and universities were right about one thing: they knew that what was taught in academia would trickle down into the culture and become mainstream, for the most socially influential citizens typically work in fields that require college degrees. And that鈥檚 why our nation needs about 5,000 more Warner Universities鈥攎ore graduates influencing culture with the love, light, and truth of Jesus Christ instead of the anger and hatred of radical progressivism.

And so, while I appreciate some media outlets鈥� accurate criticism of how large swaths of academia have lost their way, I wish they would take advantage of the cultural moment and call attention to the few bright spots that still exist on the higher education landscape. 漫天堂入口, especially, is different.
