A podcast about rhetoric and current events hosted by M. Elizabeth Thorpe, PhD. In this podcast we explore the way big ideas from the world of rhetoric apply to every day life. We focus on major events that are shaping the world today and consider how those things that sometimes seem like they belong in the ivory tower can actually help us make sense of the life we are living. This isn’t a podcast for the experts. This is a podcast for the intellectually curious.

K014 - Education, Propaganda, and the Right
Wednesday Jul 15, 2020

In this episode we explore the propagandistic nature of education. If education is propaganda, then the Right's problem with higher learning isn't that it indoctrinates students, but that it DOESN'T indoctrinate them. We discuss what an education is for and the legal and historical role of education in America. Learn more about Kairoticast at https://kairoticast.com.
