Stolen Youth at Sarah Lawrence

Deb Fillman is a commentator on educational issues who I recommend. She sees through the bullshit and psychological abuse that is modern “normal” public school and now college “pedagogy.”

Her show is called The Reason We Learn, and you will learn things from Deb and her guests about education that you hadn’t even considered.

Deb invited me to talk about the recent documentary, “Stolen Youth: Inside the Cult at Sarah Lawrence.” This tells the story of how a pathological adult was able to form a manipulative and dangerous cult that ensnared students and adults for years at Sarah Lawrence, one of the most liberal of the liberal arts colleges.

I attended Sarah Lawrence starting in 1995 and graduated in 1999. Deb and I talk about the school’s philosophical underpinnings to figure out if such a situation as this was bound to happen.

Spoiler: It was bound to happen because Sarah Lawrence primarily taught us to be Marxists.
