Jonathan Haidt is giving the Howard H. Baker Junior Center for Public Policy’s 2022 Baker Distinguished Lecture. Haidt is a social psychologist and a professor of ethical leadership in the Stern School of Business at New York University. He says there are three bad ideas that are now a standard part of childhood and education in America, and they are damaging American universities. He spoke with WUOT’s Chrissy Keuper about one of these bad ideas.
