Is our education system producing thinkers… or repeaters?

In this episode, we sat down with Peter Calfee and Kevin Dolan to discuss:

• The decline of critical thinking
• Education vs. indoctrination
• Competition in schooling
• Capitalism and the structure of a republic
• Why communication and reasoned debate matter more than ever

One line that stood out:

“Our children are the seed corn of the future.”

If we don’t equip them to question, analyze, and defend their ideas, what happens next?

This is not a surface-level conversation.
It’s about the long-term health of society.

🎧 Listen now.
💬 Then tell us — what do you think education is missing today?
