About

This project began as a way to call out ideological bias in counselor education specifically (and in education more generally) and has expanded to an examination of many aspects of our contemporary culture. The ideology that calls itself "social justice" is an attempt to revolutionize and replace western values with a culture of envy, victimhood, and entitlement. As individuals, we can choose to accept this though we know it's wrong, for the sake of conflict avoidance- or we can take a stand. What kind of person makes each choice? How do we find the strength to resist groupthink?
