Yeonmi Park, the celebrated human rights activist whose talks about the North Korean tyranny she escaped at age 13 have been viewed online nearly 350 million times, has been back in the headlines this past year, but not for the reasons you'd expect. Since coming to the United States, she has witnessed another type of tyranny in the classroom—one that reminded her of her home country in a terrifying way.

A spate of appearances on The Jordan B Peterson Podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, and Fox News detailed her experiences as a student at Columbia University: "I expected that I was paying this fortune, all this time and energy, to learn how to think. But they are forcing you to think the way they want you to think," Park told Fox News. "I thought America was different, but I saw so many similarities to what I saw in North Korea that I started worrying."
She is worried about American students losing the ability to think critically.
"In North Korea I literally believed that my Dear Leader was starving," Yeonmi said. "He's the fattest guy — how can anyone believe that? I never learned how to think critically. That is what is happening in America," she said.

We are thrilled to host Yeonmi on a panel, along with John Tomasi (Incoming President of Heterodox Academy), Emily Chamlee-Wright (President of Institute for Humane Studies), and Stephen Blackwood (President of Ralston College), in an exclusive session called "What Happened to the Liberal Part of a Liberal Arts Education?" at Liberty Forum.
John, we know you've asked yourself the same question. We think you should be there.
