Thank you so much David. I’ve admire your thoughtful perspective and I’m grateful we share a deep appreciation for moments like these that call us to reflect on leadership, silence, and speaking truth in times of uncertainty. Let’s keep the conversation going—our voices matter. With gratitude, Coach Dot
This is an example of what Stanford and many if not most higher-end universities have devolved to. The attendees (I can't call them students) are taught either directly or through administrative policies to hate the freedoms that were so treasured in 1940. The indoctrination is frightening. I can't recommend attending these "schools" to anyone these days, and I am an alum.
Mike—I hear you and share many of your concerns. It’s disheartening to witness how far some of these institutions have drifted from the ideals they once upheld—especially when it comes to fostering true intellectual freedom and civil discourse. Katie’s speech was graceful, but the silence on the global crises we’re facing—and the absence of the moral clarity we once saw in addresses like Ray Lyman Wilbur’s in 1940—is telling. I still hold hope that we can help steer the ship back on course, but it will take courage, honesty, and a recommitment to first principles. Grateful to be in this dialogue with you.
Excellent piece, Michael. Thank you for writing it.
