"The 'classical education' concept promoted by Ron DeSantis, Chris Rufo, and Hillsdale College is a reactionary far-right project," Nora De La Cour writes, and "it wouldn't be gaining so much ground if bipartisan education reform hadn't sucked the life out of our public schools." But it's not enough to simply criticize the 'classical education' movement, she says. "For the Left to effectively respond to this threat, we need to lay out our own compelling vision of what school learning is for." But I'm not satisfied with her proposal of a "shared narrative" of "schools that honor and nourish our shared humanity." I find my own proposal, "free learning", articulated in this vision, to be a powerful alternative. Via Robin DeRosa.
