  • Sex Ed: What are Colleges Teaching & Why? Solid Ground #192 with Rob Davis

    Rob's latest book, "Purpose in Form: The Necessary Basis of All Ethics," is available here: https://www.amazon.com/Purpose-Form-Necessary-Basis-Ethics/dp/0997846453/ref=sr_1_1About Rob Davis: I graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Redlands with a B.A. in Philosophy (emphasis in Chinese Philosophy) and a minor in Biology. I have worked in immigration law, wilderness therapy, addiction and behavior treatment, and education. I am an author with several self-published books including philosophical works and works of fiction. I have been sharing more of my recent writing on Substack, including an in-depth account of my experience in my Counseling Master's of Science program (titled: Defund the Fun Police). I also have done a few podcast series, including one on my book Purpose in Form: The Necessary Basis of All Ethics, and one on The Art of War by Sun Tzu. I post clips from these and other reflections or responses on my YouTube channel.I worked in wilderness therapy for about 2 years. Then I transitioned to out-patient day treatment for behavioral issues for another almost 2 years. I started working with adults in rehab, then moved to kids with behavioral disorders. From pretty much the beginning, I wanted to become a counselor. At the first wilderness therapy center, I was in a preparation program where I would receive a certification that would help with becoming a counselor (I don't recall what it was exactly at this point). So my entire time working as frontline staff I was intending as preparation for the ultimate goal of becoming a counselor. I got into an online program where I could specialize in addiction treatment, which I was very interested in, and made it one semester. At the end of the semester, there was a mandatory Social Justice portion of all of our courses. The entire pedagogy shifted from "read about these theories and tell us what you like about them or don't like" to "read these and tell us how you will put them into practice." I objected and was forced out shortly into the following semester.Other links: Substack: https://robertbdavisii.substack.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@UC_-vi5sypLBUBpkmpz0wpCA Previous interviews with Rob: (1) https://youtu.be/07Q4_Hy_8l8(2) https://www.youtube.com/live/bs8c-f8z4Ww?si=Pk55G0hyGU7jOpgu_____________________________________________________________________If you would like to contact me, my website is: https://theradicalcenterconsulting.com/ I am also on X @JLeslieElliott And if you appreciate this ongoing project and would like to support my continued work in this area you can chip in at any of the following (thank you very much!): https://www.paypal.me/jleslieelliott https://www.buymeacoffee.com/radicalcenterhttps://www.patreon.com/theradicalcenterAnother great way to support my work (and get something nice for yourself!) is to shop my handmade ceramics online at: https://ceramics.wherethealdersgrow.comJoin us every Monday at 10:00am Pacific/1:00pm Eastern for the Solid Ground Live stream.
