#178 - Wilfred Reilly

In this episode of The Western Spirit, we sit down with Dr. Wilfred Reilly to dive into his latest book, 'Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me'. Dr. Reilly sheds light on the false narratives being perpetuated within American education, particularly those that criticize Western culture as uniquely oppressive—a perspective often presented as secret knowledge shared by a select few. Throughout the conversation, Dr. Reilly critically examines these stories, including how slavery and Native American history are portrayed. He questions the skeptical lens through which many social scientists view society, which often leads to a one-sided condemnation of Western societies while ignoring or excusing the flaws of other cultures. We also delve into the biased media coverage of the Israel-Palestine conflict and the alarming rise of racial hoaxes used to sustain a narrative of oppression. The discussion extends to the impact of movements like Black Lives Matter and the damage they have inflicted on the African American community.
