Objectively Speaking with John Agresto Transcript

What is a liberal arts education actually for, and what do we lose as individuals and as a society when it disappears? That’s what John Agresto explored in this episode of Objectively Speaking. He joined Atlas Society CEO Jennifer Grossman for a discussion on the decline of liberal arts education and how multiculturalism has morphed into an attack on learning about Western civilization, as explored in Agresto’s book, The Death of Learning: How American Education Has Failed Our Students and What to Do About It. Along the way, Agresto offers practice guidance for students, parents, and anyone who wants to fight back against the tide of indoctrination and find (or fund) institutions that still prioritize genuine learning.
