Universities Are Sterilizing Language | Whistleblower Leslie Elliott | Ep 23

Leslie Elliott has come to realize that many universities are sterilizing language. In 2019, she began to learn valuable therapeutic approaches in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling Master’s program at Antioch University, but also encountered something deeply disturbing: the usurping of traditional therapy values by Critical Social Justice ideology.

Leslie took a leave of absence after her courses began requiring students to sign what was called a “civility pledge.” Frustrated in her attempts to communicate her concerns to the university, she decided to go public in October 2022 and expose how ideology is corrupting the fields of mental health and higher education.

Free the People’s mission is simple—to make the values of liberty entertaining, accessible, and human. Free the People deliberately explores issues that bridge the partisan divide—topics like criminal justice reform, health care choice, and opposing corporate cronyism. We produce documentary films, video web series, and podcasts that illuminate the people and ideas changing the world for the better. We reach audiences across the political spectrum as a rational but passionate voice for liberty.

Free the People specializes in video production, creative storytelling, and social media engagement. We are building a community of people who believe in the values of freedom, entrepreneurship, individual responsibility, choice, and peaceful cooperation. Free the People finds and tells stories of people affecting positive change in their community through entrepreneurship and innovation. We defend free choice in everything from drug policy, to health care and retirement, to every aspect of the sharing economy. Our values, like "equal treatment under the law" and "innocent until proven guilty," animate fights for criminal justice reform. We tell the stories of people who have lived through the hardships of authoritarianism and collectivism throughout history. We show our viewers that beautiful things can happen when free people come together to make the world a better place.
