In this explosive new interview, Stanley Ridgley exposes the hidden architecture of academic indoctrination — including the cult-style mechanisms now quietly embedded in university “orientation” and student-life programming. Drawing from his books Brutal Minds and DEI Exposed, Dr. Ridgley breaks down the psychological playbook used to reshape student belief systems: unfreezing, changing, and refreezing their worldview through engineered vulnerability, forced self-disclosure, manufactured trust, and targeted identity attacks.

Dr. Ridgley details how education schools train bureaucrats in these methods, how they deploy them on freshmen during their most insecure moment, and how these “facilitators” guide students toward critical consciousness — the ideological end-state of modern DEI. We explore the Marxist and neo-Marxist lineage behind the movement, the bureaucratic takeover of higher education, why counterarguments are actively withheld, and how these same cult-like tactics migrated into corporate HR.

This conversation reveals the system, the psychology, and the stakes.

This new conversation covers:

🔹 How universities “unfreeze” and rebuild student belief systems
🔹 Why bureaucrats — not professors — control campus culture
🔹 How DEI grew from Marxism, Maoism & the Frankfurt School
🔹 Why students repeat talking points they’ve never questioned
🔹 Why corporations adopted the same ideology in HR
🔹 How “studies” programs became ideological factories
🔹 What reforms are possible — and what may collapse
🔹 Why higher education is at a breaking point

Whether you’re a parent, a student, an educator, or simply curious how academia got here, this brand-new interview is essential viewing.
