Welcome to DyerConversations! My father once told me, ”Be a life-long learner.” My name is Billy Dyer and I want you to take that journey with me. On my channel you will experience the journey of being a life-long learner with me by acquiring the skills to think more critically, investigate truth claims, challenge your own biases, and navigate through all the false information out there. That means we need to be able to abandon long held ideas if the evidence points to a better position. In today’s culture, speaking the truth is risky business. People like to hear what already affirms their current beliefs, not necessarily what is true. Therefore, join me in the search for truth so we can draw conclusion that are Beyond A Reasonable Doubt!! Are you disciplined enough to challenge your thinking? Hit that SUBSCRIBE button to stay up to date on all the latest DyerConversations.

Critical Race Theory Explained
Wednesday Mar 31, 2021
Wednesday Mar 31, 2021
What is Critical Race Theory and where did it come from? In this episode I will explain the philosophy behind CRT. We will also discuss how the academic camp that CRT comes from is currently crumbling because it runs completely contrary to good academic research and is out of touch with reality. You will not understand Critical Race Theory unless you understand the philosophical foundation that it is built on.
