Bryce Eddy sits down with Robert Bortins, CEO of Classical Conversations, to talk about why parents—not the state—must take full responsibility for their children’s education. They dive into the history of America’s public school system, how it was modeled after Prussia to create obedient citizens, and why “school choice” may actually be a Trojan horse for government control. Robert shares his personal homeschooling journey, why classical education works with how God designed the brain to learn, and why outsourcing education to the state is a dangerous trade-off. They also discuss cultural decline, the attack on objective beauty, and how restoring virtue in the next generation starts at home.
