When Schooling Became Utilitarian: The Quiet Shift That Changed Everything | Andrew Zwerneman

About this episode

Education is “inherently a historical project” because it’s the generational passing down of culture.  This “transmission of culture,” or classical liberal education, has been eroded over the past century, however, explains Andrew Zwerneman, president of Cana Academy, when he joined Jack Fowler on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “The first major assault came with the progressivist movement which increasingly divorced education from religion and increasingly made education a matter of utility. So students weren’t learning what they had inherited. They were learning for the immediate problem before them.” 👉America is worth preserving.
