This is a huge meltdown in conservative circles, and considering how spineless the OU administration is, they’ll probably end up nixing the professor. They are currently working on getting rid of the African American studies department as is.

    This is not a generational issue. People are less likely to be dogmatically religious than in the past.

      I’m not so sure that critical thinking is getting any better. And I seriously wonder what AI slop will do to the brains of those that already have terrible critical thinking skills and zero media literacy.

      I’ve been watching the adherence to xtianity generally trending down about 1% per year for quite a while, though, so that’s promising.
