Hello John,
Looking ahead to America’s next 250 years, we face a defining question: What should American education become?
Episode five of Project Cosmos raises this question and poses an answer. We discuss the classical education revival, the integration of liberal arts with hands‑on trades, the impact of identity politics, and the path toward an educational renewal worthy of a free nation.
I moderated this conversation with five guests with backgrounds in academia, classical education, and philosophy.
- Dr. Larry Arnn | President, Hillsdale College
- Jeremy Tate | Founder and CEO, Classic Learning Test (CLT)
- Dr. Joshua Mitchell | Professor of Political Theory, Georgetown University
- Pastor Corey Brooks | Founder, Project H.O.O.D. (Helping Others Obtain Destiny) and Leadership Academy (Chicago)
- Jacob Imam | Founder, College of St. Joseph the Worker (Steubenville, OH)
Our conversation is available for listening on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. You can watch the full video on YouTube or read a lightly edited transcript on Substack.
I hope you find this discussion thoughtful and bracing as we explore the ideas and institutions that will shape the next generation of Americans.
Best regards,
Johnny Burtka
President and CEO |
