Institutions of higher education are actively failing students. Instead of teaching the wisdom and complexity of the Western Tradition, they indoctrinate students with “woke” ideology. If you are a college student and you want a real education, this is the podcast for you. In the Counter-University Classroom, the Intercollegiate Studies Institute (ISI) brings you lectures, panels, and debates on the most important topics in history, philosophy, politics, and more. You’ll hear lectures on everything from Plato, Shakespeare, and John Locke to industrial policy and jurisprudence. Join ISI and reclaim your education in the Counter-University Classroom!
