Scholar Claims Students Defend Nazi Atrocities as Morally Relative
Pints with Aquinas
Philosopher DESTROYS Nihilism TikToks | Dr. J. Budziszewski | Last Call Ep. 16
What was said
"I've had students who've told me that, you know, I said, well, don't you think that what the Nazis did to the Jews was objectively evil? And they say, no, you know, that may have been right for them, man."
Dr. Budziszewski recounted classroom experiences where undergraduate students, when pressed on moral relativism, refused to condemn the Holocaust as objectively evil, instead claiming it may have been morally acceptable for the Nazis. He used this to illustrate the dangerous logical conclusions of contemporary relativist thinking that has permeated university culture.
