STOP Donating to Your Alma Mater
The ideology dominating our academic institutions goes by many names: Social Justice, Critical Social Justice, DEI, Wokeism, etc. Regardless of the name, the result is the same: universities are replacing the liberal prime directive of seeking truth with an illiberal quest to enforce intolerant doctrines. Students, faculty, and staff across the country are under pressure to suppress dissenting viewpoints and parrot approved dogma, particularly on fashionable orthodoxies regarding gender, race, economics, and history.
Every dollar you donate to an ideologically captured university is a nudge toward censorship and ideological entrenchment. You can make a difference by ceasing donations and communicating your support for free expression and open inquiry.
Based on the latest report from the non-partisan Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) and College Pulse, we have created EMAIL TEMPLATES to send to the colleges that rank among the worst for free speech.

Reverse Q&A Tour
In the Reverse Q&A Tour, Peter visited universities with his film team. He listened to student experiences with Critical Social Justice on campus and in the classroom, ran Street Epistemology exercises, and taught students how to speak across ideological divides.
We visited seven universities; however, Yale and Brown administrators blocked our student hosts. In place of these canceled events, we added Reverse Q&A’s at Portland State University and the University of Oregon.
