The Return of Campus Protests and K-12 Curriculum Wars
Ep. 250 w/ show notes
Ravi sits down with The New Yorker’s Emma Green to dive into her latest piece, The Chaos at Columbia Continues. They explore the real-world consequences of ongoing campus protests and focus on the often-overlooked experiences of Columbia’s workers, from security guards to custodians, who continue to navigate the growing tension between the school’s administration and protesting students.
Ravi and Emma then shift to Emma’s reporting on classical education, including her recent piece, ‘Have the Liberal Arts Gone Conservative?’, and the resurgence of this movement. They discuss the varied interpretations of the movement, the growing debate between promoting shared values and resisting indoctrination, and what the future of public education can look like in an increasingly polarized world.
