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.
