How did we come to believe that schools can be neutral?

In this episode of the Counter Revolution Podcast, we trace the history, philosophy, and politics behind the idea of “neutral education.” From early American schools to progressive reformers like Horace Mann and John Dewey, we uncover how education has always been shaped by worldview, values, and belief systems.

We also explore how pluralism, Supreme Court decisions, and secular humanism helped popularize the idea that schools should be “neutral”—even though that claim falls apart under scrutiny.

You’ll learn:

* Why education is NEVER value-free
* How schools shape beliefs (even when claiming neutrality)
* The role of worldview in curriculum and teaching
* Why “just teach facts” is not as simple as it sounds
* What this means for parents, teachers, and the church

This is a must-watch for parents, educators, and anyone thinking seriously about truth, culture, and the future of education.

Key Question:
If education isn’t neutral… then who is discipling your children?
