On last Sunday’s episode of Free Speech Nation on GB News, I spoke to Warren Smith, a teacher in the US who recently went viral with a recorded conversation with a student who had asserted that J. K. Rowling was “transphobic” and “bigoted”.
Warren’s calm and reasoned challenge prompted the student to examine his own prejudices and revise his views. It was a brilliant lesson in critical thinking. You can watch this video, along with many more, on his YouTube channel Secret Scholar Society.
I have written about the importance of critical thinking in my book The New Puritans. You can read the relevant excerpt here.
And here’s my full interview with Warren Smith. As ever, please share, subscribe and join in the conversation in the comments!
A refreshing change to see a teacher like this.
He has a YouTube channel that’s now being attacked by the usual suspects. Give him a follow & some support.
