Congrats, you must have caused some unrest a Antioch U! They seem concerned that other students might decide to read or watch your content or even be emboldened to speak out themselves. And yes, given that it’s quite obvious whom they’re referring to and calling a white supremacist transphobe, with nothing to back it up, I’d definitely consult a lawyer if you haven’t already.
I'm a Canadian and developer of a website called www.blueprintforcanada.ca which (at a high level) is a shared policy platform for school board trustees concerning K-12 education and the impact of woke ideology. An American version of the same site is now in the works. It may be of interest because of the manner in which it tackles hot button cultural issues of our day. We took the liberty of adding one of your YT videos "Social Justice in a Nutshell" to the page below:
I agree with them in this sense. They are a Marxist school dedicated to undermining western civilization. The degree they offer requires that you accept the terms of “social justice”. They took your kindness for weakness and pulled a bait and switch. You thought you were getting an education but all they offer is indoctrination. If you want the degree you must bend the knee. Even then, you will likely be harangued out of the profession. It’s a trap and it’s why so many people are passive towards DIE initiatives at their jobs and SEL in the schools. Jobs and money are on the line. Go against the current and risk drowning.
I believe I collaborated with Shawn Fitzgerald a bit and may have taken a supervision refresher course with him when I practiced in New Hampshire back in 2010 or so. His statement is the epitome of cowardice. You could file an ethical complaint or a licensure complaint under harassment. The correct response he should be employing with you would be to reach out to dialogue with you about how you believe you were harmed by your professors. One would imagine a provost who is also a therapist might do that.
When I realized how fucked up our profession was becoming, a microcosm of social decline generally, I took a different road that Shawn. I used my influence to offer a differentiated voice for reform. A lot of guys like Shawn took the road most traveled. Lo and behold he is now a provost!
Everyone should be treated with dignity & respect regardless of their race, religion or political affiliation. Universities should be a forum for open discussion without fear of retribution or reprisals. Best of luck with your courageous efforts to ensure equal opportunity for voicing diverse opinions. Such efforts should be rewarded and encourged in an open & dynamic discussion -not censored nor punished.
Disgusting. They're ensuring noone else speaks out. I wish people weren't such cowards, were going towards 1984 and they're just complacent. Will somebody think of the WOMEN!
Thank you for standing up for democratic principles! It's mind blowing how brazen these ideologues are. Nobody elected Kendi-DiAngelo and their ideas would never be democratically approved. They can only be imposed surreptitiously with double speak, like anti-racist (which is racist) and defund the police (means abolish the arm of capitalism). I work with working class immigrant communities of all races and they're mostly conservative and rightly anti-socialist from their "lived experiences" in failed socialist experiments. The DEI bs is mostly an elitist white guilt trip and boondoggle for academic consultants. Since it's now being taught in schools as fact and not theory, it's also a direct threat to democracy. Thank you for your courage and eloquence in defense of freedom of speech!
Since lawsuits are time-consuming and unpleasant, another form of recourse, if it can be done, is to notify all of the alumni of the situation. Maybe "all" is more than you can reach, but possibly there are internet forums for alumni of Antioch. Maybe a Facebook group.
Just wondering where Jewish people fit into Antioch's cosmology. Most Jews are white (although a very sizeable minority is not), and yet Jews are history's most persecuted people.
Well, yeah, you are "harming" their ability to indoctrinate. Me too, though my end is more on the social sciencey side. Will include your Substack on my recommended list. You can follow me, if the spirit moves you, here:
They will libel, slander, and defame without batting an eye. Anyone that does not march lockstep to the Critical Social Justice Ideology will be neutralized by any means necessary. Yet, some of us will not go quietly into the dark night. Love and support to you!
All white people are racist unless they deny it in which case they get to be a white supremacist... heads we win, tails you loose 🤣

We're following your situation with interest and happy to support you and bring publicity to what your school is doing. All the best.

I think you must sue. Beyond shining a light on their bad faith dogma, it's the only thing you can do it seems.
Horrific tarring and feathering in the public square. They mean to damage you and escape responsibility for their actions.
Good on you.
!!!!!! Sickening, but predictable. I hope you’ve found a good lawyer and know who your real friends are. But don’t live in fear. 🙏

Beyond parody. Keep your head high Leslie!

I think you will enjoy it and its pretty short.

This whole thing is transphobic. https://theradicalcenter.substack.com/p/mutilate-and-medicate
