Who else in history practiced what the professor advocated doing to Christians?
The professor advocated committing fundamental Christians to insane asylums to reduce their influence. According to the transcript, Hitler and Stalin practiced the same kind of action, and the speaker warns that people in America now advocate the same thing. This warning indicates such measures are not far away.
Les explains that a university professor, possibly at the University of Minnesota, argued back in the 1960s that if fundamental Christendom stood in the way of social progress, one way to reduce their influence was to commit them to insane asylums, since they were not mentally fit for society. Les then points out that Hitler did that and Stalin did it, and now people in America are advocating the same thing. He adds that it is not that far away, and though he is not a prophet of doom and gloom, Christians sometimes need to be made aware of what they are up against.
