Why not do a series of episodes where you showcase non-woke universities and colleges that might be great alternatives from the usual universities?
Then it wouldn't be owning the Libs.

I'm thinking that the long term would result in a couple of changes.
1) Conservatives would get a much higher quality of education. Critical thinking skills would be taught again.
2) These non-woke universities would gradually replace the, so called, best universities as the new number one institutions of learning.
3) Employers would find higher quality new hires at the non-woke institutions and would shift their preference of hires from them away from the woke institutions.
I like your idea. Since I don't see the secular schools having a change of heart anytime soon, informing people of alternatives to the "woke" nonsense would be a real service to people who watch Praeger U.
College students who can talk and don't just scream are so refreshing to see.
Why don't you go cry about Starbucks cups and people saying happy holidays.
@@thomaslogan4815 I just ignore them.
@@MKCarol-ms7lg if only the rest of the toxic, selfish, hateful, hypocritical, self-righteous Christian conservativs would do the same.
You don't have enough information to say that, you're only seeing the tip of the iceberg of both sides.
Talk nonsense lol.
Yes, there are still normal people out there. You can already see the difference between level headed kids vs. Woke kids.
What does woke mean
@@Bc232klm - Those who claim to be aware but actually have twisted ideologies.
You know who was woke? MLK. Abraham Lincoln is probably the most woke US President ever. I mean, freeing black slaves? There is no way Conservatives would go with that if slavery was now legal.
@@Bc232klm woke means that people are aware of the injustice that occurs to certain people.
@@Bc232klm It's about lumping everyone into identity groups based on race, sexuality, etc and manufacturing conflicts between those groups. Neo-Marxism.
Wow....now that was eye opening. Clear and concise answers from students, operating on a level which feels to be about 40 IQ points higher than their Woke student counterparts.
Agree completely.
100%
Its refreshing to see and hear students clearly articulate their perspectives based on faith.
I went to a small private Christian college, many yrs ago. There is a sense of comfort that you get as the proffs and other college employees really care about you as a person, and in your wellbeing. I invited several of my professors to my wedding, we were that close! Don't get me wrong if you go looking for trouble, you can find it, but you will not have this nonsense going on like there is on non faith based schools.
Were you sexually abused/groomed there? Sounds like you were groomed. Stay away from any Christian group, they are hotbeds for grooming and child molestation.
Sounds like a great college.
Thanks for another fantastic video Will Witt, please keep them coming!
Impressive collection of students.
Seeing the contrast with students at secular universities, shows how important faith is to even intellect, wisdom, and emotional health.
These students know what they are talking. They can iterate so much better comparing to other students.
None seem to be ivy league. Maybe a shortage of IQ?
Yes! I went to a faith-based institute of higher learning that was headed in the wrong (i.e. woke) direction half a century ago. I was aware of the issues and rejected attempts to persuade me to accept such nonsense. They called it "inclusive" and I called it "horse feathers."
Good to see Will out there pounding the pavement for Prager U.
"A woke revolution requires all of us at some point to stand up and say: 'No, I'm not going to take this!' " ~ Victor Davis Hansen
A glimmer of hope! Thank you! Please find more universities like this so I know where my kids should apply.
For what it is worth, there are a lot of private Christian colleges in PA. I went to Waynesburg College (it is a University now with sister campuses) it is south of Pittsburgh, PA. Other very good schools in PA (it also depends on what your student wants to major in) are Cal U in PA is a public Univ again in the same area (next town over) from Waynesburg. I know several kids that have gone there are received amazing educations. It is not easy to get into that school, they set the bar pretty high to naturally weed out the riff-raff, so to speak. There is Liberty University is a Baptist College in Lynchburg, VA. Thiel University is in Greenville, PA, and is Evangelical Lutheran School. I almost went to this university. Grove City College is a private, conservative Christian liberal arts college in Grove City, North of Pittsburgh, PA. Fun fact about Grove City: it is illegal to walk in the grass in that town! No joke! I really liked this school as well. It is a private school but their financial burden is more aligned with state public schools. The town is titled "city" but it is not a big city. You should be able to do a search for Christian higher education outlets in your state if you do not want slammed with out of state extra fees.
For a second there, I thought Will interviewed Will. haha
I was accepted into DBU, it was so expensive I couldn’t afford it. Had to go with a cheaper option. I dropped out after the first semester, the wokeness was too much. I’ve never been back to college and i dont regret it.
I did the same, except stuck it out at a relatively woke college. I am not sure that it was worth it, actually.
Prayers
A religious based collage is really the only option these days. My son went to Harding University. Got a great education and kept his conservative morals.
Loved all that they have to say! Wonder what the students’ responses would be if they are asked similar questions about current issues/concerns that we ask the “Woke” community. ??
Major in engineering and you won't have time to be woke. In addition, you'll find a good job when you graduate.
2:11 dude interviews himself
I always enjoy watching you. I wish you made more videos.
I love how the word "woke" have absolutely no meaning and means everything.
Verb: 1. Be alert 2. Stop sleeping 3. to excite feelings or passions
The Woke are not #1 or #2 but #3 where emotions take control over the logic centers of the brain. Man becomes animalistic rather than thinking. Hence actually believing a male human being can 'get pregnant' or 'become female'. Anyone actually alert and awake knows that such ideas are hogwash. Even the so-called primitive African men THINK that such ideas are those of someone who has lost their ability to think.
Do Hillsdale next!
At 2:07 I had a hard time understanding which one of them is Will, lol
Check out Hillsdale College
Go to Norwich University. They are super conservative in VT. It is the oldest private military college in the nation
There is intelligence out there.
Southern Virginia University in Buena Vista, Virginia is another one you should visit.
Miss will on the podcasts :(
All those great interviews really blew Will's hair away
Hillsdale College in Michigan.
Yes, there are alternatives to “woke” universities in the nation.
Need more videos like this. There is so much conflict and tension in the world it’s nice to know there are still colleges that have Christ as the center.
As a foreigner, I'd love to watch a series called something like Non-woke colleges: the future of America
Yes it's called TRADE SCHOOL The home of real jobs.
can i become a doctor, engineer, or scientist in trade school?
The point of higher education as you might explain it is 2 tier. Of course education is meant to prepare people for constructive activity including careers afterwards. But part 2 can be summarized as the maxim that "Man does not live by bread alone." I was in higher education for decades and despite the political correctness I SAW the real results of encouraging students to reach higher and to think more deeply, and to encounter a richer life than just to be able to get a job. I saw the faces light up with new ideas and insights and just the pure, genuine joy of living and of being human in the best sense. If you insist on putting all this in "practical" terms, you might admit that learning how to think and to reason and to think deeply about all kinds of situations in life is an extremely important life skill for every context of life, definitely including work life, but involving all human relationships and situations. Never let anyone tell you that learning how to think (and I do NOT mean "what" to think as in wokeism), is unimportant. Our loss of this skill through the famous dumbing down is helping those who wish to "transform" America.
Best video I’ve seen in two years!
This is so wholesome, it warms my heart. However I do love laughing at the campuses with blue haired leftist crying for reparations and matriarchies 😂
These kids sound exceedingly bright and “on the ball”.
When I hear kids from other schools, they actually sound completely “zoned out” and incoherent.
Seriously…
Besides listening to Mr. Prager on the radio when I could, the first videos I saw were featuring Will as the host. Sad and a bit concerned that we've been seeing him less and less. Has he been promoted, moved to another organization, or taking a vacation?
@@UsagiHenryoh, so that's what happened. I was looking for his vids. Sad to see him go, but I'm sure he's happy in florida.
Can someone tell me where Will is now? I have not seen or heard..what happened?
Wondering the same thing
Now do Liberty U. I'd love to see my son on one of your videos.
What happened to Will Witt? Havent seen him in 7 months.
Yeah.. but HR wont honor them. 😢
I believe Notre Dame isn't as woke as most universities out there, for being a secular one.
Does anybody know when Will Witt is starting his own show or podcast??
@Leticia yes! He doesn't hold back and tells it like it is. Now, I love Amala Ekpunobi. Thank God for her because PragerU wouldn't be the same as well. She is one of the voices of reason in this mad upside clown world.
@@JohnnyCage333 i guess Leticia was wrong because i cant see her comment and have no idea what happened to Will other than he was traveling then disappeared
@@SandyDiVa He really needs to start his own show or podcast. We need more voices like his.
How much do they charge for a degree?
Why doesn’t Will Witt appear on PragerU anymore? He was one of my favourite commentators.
Educate men without faith and you but make them clever devils.
When are parents and students going to start suing these colleges and universities for teaching lies
Go ahead, there's no lies. You'd lose. Waste your money.
@@Bc232klm 🤣Let me guess. Gender studies major?
Do you mean faith-based universities or woke universities?
@@melissat9120 woke
What lies? Slavery was bad, or sexism has been and is a problem in this country? Fascism led to a genocide? Hitler was bad? Nixon broke the law and got a pardon from his VP?
But are there non-religious alternatives to Woke Universities?
Wow!! I wish the so-called Christian universities in Minnesota where anything remotely like this! It’s gotten to the point where I am thinking about potentially going out of state to try to find one of the less Wolk universities.
Separation of church and state.
Looks like a wonderful school ✝️
Leute, das ist einfach gruselig. Ich würde NIEMALS an einer Universität studieren wollen, die derartig auf einer Art von Glauben basiert. Never ever.
Where do you all stand on schools like WGU - Western Governors University?
Yeah, they're called Christian/private Universities.
I’m a graduate of Liberty University. I love that school. I recommend everyone to go there
Ministry exists at every turn.
Not if you want a focus in the realm of objectivism. Anything in the stem field.
Notice how they’re all well dressed and spoken and mostly good looking
You should come to HCU!!
But how are the STEM courses? Their undergraduate majors appear more art and philosophy driven. And their biology course description appear to have apparent biases.
Going from one ideologist environment to another at the opposite side of the spectrum does not guarantee a better education. Still better than woke, I agree.
they suck, if you want to study in a good steam university only the top and normal "woke" universities can offer you a good education, or you can go to europe where this whole stupid debate doesn't exist, you can have churches and lgbt groups in peace in those universities
it is almost 100 years and more for them to CHANGE and CORRUPT today modern people mind
to counter that situation ......... ALL law and rule that made for education system MUST be MADE for the GOOD of Human kind in the PRESENT and the FUTURE
ONE the MOST IMPORTANT is FAITH to GOD as a MORAL BASE
Definition of woke: anything conservatives don’t like.
There's a huge difference in articulation between these students and the "woke" students that are featured other videos.
One woman caused all of this when she pushed Prayer out of school. Remember one woman! This was the beginning of the end!
Maybe Liberty University
Faith is important in education? I don't want an engineer who has "faith" that their engineering work is going to work. I want someone who knows what they are talking about. Faith is belief without necessary evidence for that belief (or faith would not even be necessary as a concept) and is built on a desire for something to be true. Again if a belief, religious or not, was true, then faith WOULD NOT be necessary
Best video I've seen in years.
BYU and a lot of other Utah Colleges like USU
The progressive teachers have even infiltrated BYU during the last decade. Unfortunately, the professors and instructors don't have to commit to the same ecclesiastical standards as the students.
Not so much the state universities in Utah now (I'm a University of Utah graduate and my daughter went to BYU).
Unfortunately, BYU is getting invaded by wokeness as well.
BYU and Mormons as a whole are becoming more woke. I'm a BYU grad and 40+ year Mormon. It's happening.
Pleeeaase go to BYU, Will. It would be fascinating.
Yes. Allow children to start working if they wish to at 14. And have them work after graduating high school for at least 4 years and pay taxes. Then when they go to college they're going to be focused on getting a better job and earning more. There'll be a lot less interested in protest and other worthless activities
Or have them not go into debt for a piece of paper with the few exceptions.
I would have preferred this, but felt so much pressure from my parents to attend college straightaway. Now I have a degree in a subject I dislike and have had to work to save up to attend school to change careers.
TRADE SCHOOL !
So many uptalkers.
If you are woke left , you are depress.
If you are not woke left , you are not depress👌 😉✌.
woke doesn't mean anything
I feel like a religious school isn't a great example of alternative to woke University. It is, and it isn't. The first few students talked about how faith was taught or incorporated in to every aspect of their schooling... isn't that what woke universities are doing too. I guess we just have to decide which religion we want to be a part of and choose the appropriate school.
Now I definitely do see a HUGE difference in how these students carry themselves verses the typical woke college students! I chose to go to a Christian university over a public one. I got to enjoy bible education to help strengthen my faith and it was a great stepping stone from home to "real world". Just like another commenter said, it was a great environment! But like anywhere, if you wanted trouble you could still find it.
I would be VERY interested in knowing if there are still any non religious schools that haven't gone woke!!
Pu loves indocrination as long as its their views
@@freddygarfunkle8947 thats the problem with the usa politics spectrum either you re a woke atheist or a hard core conservative christian, in Europe you can have both of them studying in the same university with no problems
I seriously thought Will was back 😢. Still hoping he does come back for good though.
Where did he go?
Liberty University. Best school ever! Proud of this school.
The are in the bottom 25 percent of schools
@@freddygarfunkle8947 most of this school are there, and "woke" universities as harvard,yale, mit, caltech and others are at the top cause they have the best science programs
@@ghostxl8525 woke just means anything that offends conservatives 5hese days
What happened to will?
I've wondered the same. Haven't seen him in a while.
Have anyone notice Will looks like a POTUS45's grandson?
Just joking 😂😂
God bless🙏
Not a single person with blue hair? Instead lots of dudes with their shirts tucked in.
Not everyone who prefers a non-woke atmosphere are religious. I as about as atheist as you can be, but I think teaching morals, compassion, etc belongs at home with the parents. I don't want a teacher or professor who thinks they are better than me to be preaching to my kids, just teach them what you are being paid to teach.
"Are There Alternatives to Woke Universities?"
Yes, working class jobs.
We need doctors and engineers. They designed your cars, houses and comfort of life in this modern society. It's important to have universities. We benefit from smart people learning from experts in the field, so they can one day save your life. But its only useful if they get taught knowledge and application, not politics/ideologies.
@@cyano741 "But its only useful if they get taught knowledge and application, not politics/ideologies." Yea, that's the hook, hence my sarcastic comment, since nothing productive seems to come out of universities these days.
@eadghe they tried to force my second grader to pick from a long list of made up genders, after a long speech about identity being a personal choice. That was only the start of things. Eventually I had to take her out and im homeschooling lol. Especially when the kid next to her started picking a different gender, and telling my kids her parents should die, when she told the kid she doesn't need to participate. I live in Canada. They are starting early here, and it's pure insanity.
@@cyano741 Canada seems to be the next 3rd Reich, if you catch my drift. I'm sorry to hear your story first hand and hope you will find mindlike people to support each other, in this truly upside down satanic era!
You might want to check the University of Austin with which Peter Boghossian is affiliated, although it is in very preliminary stages.
An extremely impressive alternative is Ralston College of Savannah, although it has only just begun offering a single program so far. You may want to check out videos featuring its president, Stephen Blackwood, and their website. A great way to learn about its ambitions and ethos is via the RUclips video about our "cultural inflection point." Unlike those who believe that education should be limited to training for a trade, Ralston is a real college dedicated to becoming a more fulfilled and thoughtful human being, as well as, of course, to learning advanced skills, remembering always that learning how to think, skillfully and independently is the ultimate skill applicable to everything we do.
Finally, although it is faith based, you may want to check on what may be the most ethically based and academically solid, fully functioning college that I know of, Hillsdale. Their free courses online provide an excellent introduction to their quality. I am not affiliated with any church or other religious institution, although I believe firmly in the Judeo-Christian ethic and the importance of Classical education (Jerusalem meets Athens). And if I had a child, I would want them to study at Hillsdale. Though it is faith based and was founded by Christians, there is no requirement to be a member of any religion, but only to respect the ethos of the college and adhere to its honor code and standard of excellence both morally and academically.
California Baptist University!
Compare to university students of the 19th and early 20th century.... Yikes!
DBU expressly prohibits "student organizations which are homosexual/bisexual in nature," making it difficult for those students to find community. So while DBU is actively discriminating against people on the basis of their sexual orientation, it's the "woke universities" who are the problem?
Why do you need to form organizations around your sexual orientation at school? It's not the place for it.
If your community can only be found in who you have SIN with, then you miss the idea of CHRISTIAN COLLEGE.
@@User_Happy35 a school that is actively hostile to people of a certain background seems to me like exactly the place where an affinity/ally group would be most necessary
@@YophiSmith we have very different conceptions of sin, sir
@@User_Happy35 Why should students be prevented from doing it just because *you* don't understand the need or desire? I don't get why people like reality TV, but I wouldn't *ban* a "Reality TV Society".
Franciscan University in Steubenville is strongly Christ based.
Yes, religiously asleep ones. Take the rational middle ground and learn Objectivism instead.
Did President Lincoln free the slaves?
Well, he seems to have forgotten you.
@@asmael666 He whom the “Son” has set free, is free indeed 😊 Now wise guy, can you academically and historically answer the question? Yes or No?
I like this message it's all about Jesus Christ Legacy, we all are Christ like no matter what kind of education we take
Sorry Will but you need a fresh cut my G 😂
Keep in mind TX is a bit less woke than other chunks of the country.
Religious universities don't work so well for people who aren't part of that particular religion...
Yep, a mix of hospice with asylum. But be aware not to have the same System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether (Edgar Allan Poe), as they are now a days.
Everything you do must be Christ centered to succeed in life..
Jesus isn't real.
@@Bc232klm You can tell Jesus that when you see him. If you can.
They look healthier
Will needs a haircut. His mullet is out of control in that breeze.
While I agree with most of PragerU content (Israel, gender absurdities, taxes, small government) I think it is imperative education and faith must be separated. Faith should be something personal.
There should be no official state religion in the United States, but teaching Christianity and science in schools is not a problem, because gov now teach Darwin's theory of evolution in public schools
What does it mean to be a "Woke University"?
What happens when prospective employers infected with woke see the names of the more conservative or faith based universities on the CV of job applicants?
I know this is a Baptist University and presume that the majority of students are Christians and as such must shine their light so the world can see it and not hide it, but doesn't going to that University just rub the woke up the wrong way and put a stumbling block in the way of these nice young people. Wouldn't it be better just to go to an ordinary University, do the woke crap expected from you answer the questions in the woke way you have been taught and then have a better chance of getting a job from where you can develop your Christian leadership rather than hanging about jobless.
Just asking and hoping for some replies, the correct replies.

Faith based university? Lol.
