Naomi Best enrolled in Santa Clara University's Counseling Psychology MA to help people.

Despite requesting a religious exemption—granted to Muslim women—the university denied her appeal.In this episode, we uncover the radical ideology behind this curriculum and how critical theory is being used to hijack psychology—reshaping therapy into a tool for social reengineering and tearing down the moral foundations of society.This isn't education—it's ideological coercion that borders on sexual harassment.
