Episode Synopsis

Colleges and universities are producing a lot of miserable people.  Only certain speakers are tolerated on college campuses. Only certain viewpoints are met with approval.  Is it just a coincidence that suicide and depression rates are escalating?  The film, “The Coddling of the American Mind,” based on the book by Johnathan Haidt and Greg Lukianoff, explores the fascinating journey’s of five college students.  Michele interviews the film’s director and producer, and you’ll want to see the clips they discuss.
