I think that part could be inoffensive if they mean people have to talk in class or something like that. The crazy part is "without distractions or prejudgement". It's pretty clear that they mean you can't say that racism is wrong, Nazis were bad, slavery was bad, etc.

“Maybe we’ll put the students in these large rooms, let’s call them, say, classrooms. And we’ll have a moderator, we’ll call her, I don’t know, a professor. And the professor can maybe prompt the students to speak somehow, maybe with these things we’ll call questions…”
