1:27Now PlayingClassroom teaching should be based on foundations of reading, writing, and history, but it’s not. Ryan Walters explains how woke education skips foundational knowledge, teaching children opinions instead of facts.
The growing debate surrounding classical education, critical thinking, civics, school curriculum, and American history is becoming one of the most important conversations in modern education. Critics argue many schools increasingly encourage students to form political and social opinions before teaching foundational facts, historical context, logic, and primary source materials like the Constitution, Federalist Papers, and writings from America’s Founding Fathers. Supporters of modern curriculum approaches argue students should critically analyze history through multiple perspectives and social frameworks. As debates continue over education reform, parental rights, historical literacy, and critical thinking skills, more parents and educators are questioning whether schools are teaching children what to think instead of how to think.
