Part 3/7:
Complementing Zakaria's perspective, Bill Maher has provided pointed commentary regarding the current trends in academia, drawing parallels between today's "woke" revolution and the Cultural Revolution instituted by Chairman Mao in the 1960s. Maher highlights how universities have shifted their focus toward ideological reeducation at the expense of intellectual rigor, where students are often encouraged to adopt simplistic views of the world as divided between oppressor and oppressed.
He effectively articulates that while the intentions behind diversity and inclusion may be noble, they have often resulted in dogmatic ideologies that overshadow the core mission of educational excellence.
