What is the Face of Evil?

Every student deserves to be treated with the respect owed to every human. A student’s political theory, religion, creed, sex, race, culture, hopes, and dreams do not change this duty of respect. Humanities teachers respect their students as rational agents by teaching them how to question and pursue wisdom.

How do you recognize evil? What is the face of evil? It's not like in the movies where villains look like orcs; we know real life is more complex. Consider Quasimodo, who, despite his flaws, ultimately does good, while Phoebus falls short. Evil reveals itself through its actions and consequences. You will know it by its fruit. A clear example, which most Americans can agree on, is that it is evil to harm children or take advantage of those who are vulnerable, confused, or ill.

The "bad guys" often disguise themselves as “angels of light,” offering enlightenment and secret wisdom. Victor Hugo's choice of the name "Phoebus" is deliberate—it means “the bright one,” sharing the same meaning as “Lucifer.” You cannot simply judge Phoebus or Lucifer as evil based on outward appearances, as they are not necessarily ugly on the outside. Instead, you must recognize that what they promise is wicked, and the results of their actions are evil. They embrace evil and lead others to do the same.

Below is another installment of my series on ASU West professors disobeying the directive from ASU to not use ASU email or resources to lament the election. These are from a “reply all” to the very email asking them not to do this. 🤣

One email helps show how ASU professors (and I suspect the vast majority of secular professors in the United States) both cause mental confusion in their students and then use it to promote their political and sexual ideologies. After the election, one professor wrote:

A related concern: In thinking about the welfare of our students, some of whom may be in direct threat in the near future, (and may be facing that reality alone, right now)  are we providing counseling and other resources to support their needs? 

I remember feeling grateful for President Crow's messages supporting immigrant students during some rough times for them, a few years ago. I hope this stance continues and expands. (In answering requests for Trans-Trans-friendly/supportive student counseling services, I've found that it is not currently something we publicly make assessable.) 

I've also had a query about literature/ humanities courses studying Trans-related texts/ issues...(I referred them to Women & Gender Studies website, but if there are other offerings, it would be good to know.)

What is the direct threat that ASU students will face in the near future? Will someone be teaching them to irreversibly cut off parts of their body and take castration drugs as a cure for gender dysphoria? No, that’s what ASU professors like this one are doing right now.

There is no direct threat to any student, whether they are transgender or not. Likewise, no adult's freedom to engage in their preferred sexual activities is proposed to be taken away. Those aren’t policy positions in the Republic platform.

Why are paranoid professors allowed to pass on their paranoia to students in ways that cause lasting harm to those students?

When will ASU actually step in and uphold its faculty manual?

These professors often project their paranoia onto young and vulnerable students, which can lead to mental health issues—issues that these same professors acknowledge require professional intervention. In essence, they create the problem and then present themselves as part of the solution.

This email also adds to my last post about how the Kinsey sex cult professors find “trans-related issues” in every literary text (or, if there isn’t such an issue, it is an unworthy text).

Here is the harm such professors inflict on our ASU students (some of whom are your children or grandchildren). 1. Teach them that if they are confused about gender, a cure is to cut up their body and take castration medication. 2. Teach them that they will be under direct threat if Trump or a conservative is elected.

For number one, the claim that medical transitions are a definitive solution to gender dysphoria has already been empirically challenged. There is substantial evidence, including numerous testimonials from individuals who have detransitioned, which can be found online, highlighting that such interventions do not always lead to successful outcomes or resolution of distress.

For number two, the teaching of such professors only exacerbates anxiety, paranoia, and depression among these students. ASU professors tell them that if Trump were to win, they would face imprisonment and be forced into breeding (assuming it is still possible after irreversible surgeries). This rhetoric heightens fear and distress rather than fostering a constructive or supportive environment.

Consider the mental torment inflicted on students by ASU professors who promote ideologies rooted in the Kinsey/Money cult. Contrary to the fearmongering narratives, no student faces a direct threat due to recent elections. Every student will continue to be treated with the respect and dignity they deserve as human beings. The true danger lies in remaining under the influence of such professors without being exposed to alternatives or differing perspectives beyond the Kinsey/Money sex cult.

ASU's Humanities classes should guide students in leading an examined life and critically questioning the assumptions behind various ideologies competing for their attention. However, if emails like this and the Humanities Institute and Honors College events I’ve highlighted are any indication, ASU is falling far short of this goal.

Here's how to recognize evil: An evil person is someone who does not understand the highest good for a human being—often referred to as the “chief end.” This person, though ignorant and mistakenly believing they possess true knowledge, assumes the role of a teacher and spreads their ignorance to others. Additionally, this is someone who rejects what is truly good, instead embracing and promoting what is wicked and harmful. Such individuals should be publicly exposed through civil debate. I challenge any professor concerned about trans students to a public debate on what is good. Their unwillingness to engage in such a debate speaks volumes.

Parents, grandparents, students, pastors, legislators (especially with our strengthened majority in Arizona), and donors—I urge you to join me in publicly calling out and shining a light on what ASU Humanities professors are teaching. Let's bring transparency and accountability to ensure students receive a truly enriching education at our state universities like ASU.
