Anatomy of an Implosion

In this book, Professor Schulz performs a critical dissection of an educational institution infected by a disease. Whether called

"social justice" or "diversity, equity, and inclusion," or labeled by its opponents as "woke Marxism," the result is the same: the

disease corrupts the institutional host by denying the basic dignity of all human beings. To be sure, such a malevolent theory stands in contrast to basic Christian teachings on equality. But an institution, such as Concordia, that embraces such a theory risks profound legal consequence. As the United States Supreme Court affirmed in the summer of 2023, American law demands equal treatment of all citizens, especially in the educational setting, where race should never be a factor. Educational institutions-even private institutions like Concordia-that impose DEI or "affirmative action" policies upon a student body or faculty violate federal law, risk losing federal funding, and face the prospect of punitive damages in federal court. Higher educational institutions would do well to carefully consider not only moral and Christian teachings, but also the

legal consequences of engaging in the "sordid business" of "divvying us up by race," as the Supreme Court has warned.

What is at stake is not simply the prevalent educational ideology, policy, and terminology, but the minds and hearts of students, administrators, and teachers and their adherence to the Word of God, to Holy Scripture, and ultimately the justification of faith through Christ alone, all in the name of church. This is the battle of our time. In this book, Schulz is sounding the certain, clarion call of the trumpet. The church of Christ needs to prepare for battle in these latter days. We had best pay heed and have a care.
