About this episode
Kevin and Marnie Freeman discuss education and school choice with Robert Bortins, focusing on a parent-led revival and the importance of a truth-centered worldview.
Kevin and Marnie Freeman speak with Classical Conversations CEO Robert Bortins about the parent-led revival in education, the pitfalls of collectivist schooling, and practical steps for rebuilding a truth-centered, Christian worldview at home. They unpack the book “Woke and Weaponized,” explore historical literacy standards, and explain why memorization, music, rhetoric, and community sharpen critical thinking. The conversation contrasts state-driven curricula with parent responsibility, highlights SEL/CRT concerns, and outlines how churches and businesses can support real academic formation. Includes actionable guidance on starting or joining local communities and evaluating school choice trade-offs. @PirateMoney
