Student Scholars Program

The Student Scholar Program invites students to participate in a guided reading and small group discussion facilitated by a Renegade Institute for Liberty affiliated faculty. In 2020, Student Scholars read Social Justice Isn't What You Think It Is (2015) by Michael Novak, Paul Adams, and Elizabeth Shaw..The 2021 focal text was Debunking Howard Zinn: Exposing the Fake History that Turned a Generation Against America, by Mary Grabar (2019). From Zinn's FBI dossier to adoration from celebrities and academics, Grabar traces the ideological inspirations and consequences of one of history's greatest frauds. Students interested in participating in our next cohort of Student Scholars should contact Dr. Daymon Johnson at dayjohns@bakersfieldcollege.edu.
