Are Christian parents, pastors, and grandparents finally ready to face the truth about government schooling?

In this episode of The Counterrevolution Podcast, I sit down with Alex Newman and Robert Bortins, co-authors of Woke and Weaponized, to talk about the spiritual, historical, and ideological roots of America’s education system.

This isn’t a conversation about test scores or policy tweaks.

It’s about discipleship.

Because education is never neutral.
Someone will shape your children.
The question is: you or the state?

We discuss:

* Why government schools were never meant to be neutral
* The Marxist and progressive roots of modern education
* John Dewey, Robert Owen, and the intentional reshaping of society through schools
* Why “School Choice” (government-funded private education) is not true freedom
* The difference between education independence and government dependence
* Why pastors must start paying attention
* Homeschooling and church-based education as frontline resistance
* Practical steps families and churches can take right now

If you care about the next generation, this conversation is for you.
