| Hi, thank you for having me on, Mr. Prager. | |
| I wanted to ask you your thoughts on the study of sociology. | |
| Are you thinking of majoring in it? | |
| No, I'm in college right now, and I'm taking it this semester. | |
| And from what it looks like, it's an extremely leftist, honestly, pseudoscience kind of a facet of regular psychology. | |
| And it teaches victimhood, and it teaches a bunch of other far-left ideals as fact. | |
| You got it right. | |
| That's exactly my view of it. | |
| It's a waste. | |
| I mean, I wish it were just a waste. | |
| It's worse than a waste. | |
| That is exactly right. | |
| But it's true for virtually every one of the quote-unquote social sciences. | |
| In fact, anything outside of STEM. Science, technology, what is the E again? | |
| Engineering and math. | |
| Yes, engineering, math. | |
| Thank you. | |
| You know, the departments of English are notorious indoctrination centers. | |
| You know, they dismiss Shakespeare as a white European heterosexual male. | |
| Not to regard him as the greatest writer perhaps in world history, after the Bible, and certainly in English. | |
| So you're really stuck if you want to take political science or history, sociology, anthropology, and anything with the word studies in it. | |
| Right. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Are you at college? | |
| I am. | |
| I'm studying to be a physical therapist, but this is one of the, it's required as a gen ed course. | |
| Well, what are your other choices for gen ed? | |
| More of the same, unfortunately. | |
| How did you develop your sober attitudes towards life? | |
| Largely in part to my mom. | |
| I've been listening to your show because of her for years now. | |
| And she taught me personal responsibility all throughout life, so I think that's a big part of it. | |
| So I think I asked you, but I don't remember your answer. | |
| Are you at college? | |
| I am. | |
| Which one? | |
| I started at the University of Oregon, but the tuition is so high I had to come back home and I go to a community college right now. | |
| Well, you have a better chance at getting a professor at a community college who actually believes in teaching than indoctrinating than you do at a university. | |
| So that might work out. | |
| Well, I'd like to invite you, too, to Prager Force. | |
| Are you familiar with PragerU? | |
| I am, yes. | |
| Okay, wonderful. | |
| Well, thank you for calling. | |
| People like you give people hope. | |
| She's 19. It has been a very great facet of my life in the last decade, the number of young people I interact with and get to know and get to touch. | |
| And it gives you hope. |
