Hugh Hallman, Attorney, Educator, and former Mayor of Tempe, joins Seth in studio for the full hour to dissect a recent Washington Post piece “This teaching method, backed by conservatives, is on the rise” featuring liberal criticisms of primary schools teaching in a classical style and the Trump Administration’s support of such educational institutions. They dive into the Post's biases, highlighting the author's misrepresentation of the movement as conservative. Hugh shares his insights on the true nature of classical education, emphasizing its focus on critical thinking, the study of Western civilization, and the importance of understanding the founding documents of the United States. They discuss how this type of education can foster thoughtful citizens and promote a deeper understanding of the world.
