The Multiculturalism Strategy at ASU
There are different strategies the secular university professor uses to undermine the faith of young Christians. Perhaps the most effective is the empathetic multiculturalism approach.
This approach claims that the First Amendment requires equal time and space be given to all views in public settings. Therefore, every religion must receive equal representation, even if it accounts for less than one percent of the population (incidentally, that isn’t what the First Amendment means)
Then comes the next step: the appeal to pity.
Christians have historically forced others to convert, it is said, and now it’s time for shamanistic and sexual religions to receive extra attention—while Christianity remains silent.
The young Christian is made to feel that they’ve been part of an oppressive force that has marginalized people who sincerely want to worship the spirits of nature or the sex goddess.
Forget conversion. All conversion, they are told, is a power move—from less power to more power—and therefore illegitimate. But when a secular university professor converts a student from Christianity to indigenous shamanism, that’s framed as a move from more power to less power, and thus acceptable.
Truth is no longer relevant.
Multiculturalism becomes the vehicle to:
sow the seeds of skepticism (“no one really knows, we’re all doing our best”),
exploit empathy through the appeal to pity (“the shamanists deserve more attention because of intersectionality”), and
dismiss the unique claims of Christianity altogether (“Christianity is just one of many views”).
I have a colleague who claims to be a Christian but uses this exact approach to undermine students’ Christian faith.
Parents, equip your children not simply with belief, but with knowledge of the truth, so they are prepared for such professors
