Education or Ideological Indoctrination?

A Coffee, Commerce, & Catechism podcast with Christopher B. Warner

"Our public education system has not only undermined religion, it has replaced religion with socio-political ideology." Join us for a thought-provoking conversation with Fr. Deacon Christopher Warner of the Acton Institute about the state of modern education and the challenges facing Catholic parents. Our discussion explores:

  • How public education has shifted from teaching critical thinking to promoting ideological indoctrination

  • The historical roots of education's transformation through cultural Marxism and the sexual revolution

  • Why all education is inherently sectarian and reflects specific worldviews

  • The false anthropologies being taught to children that contradict Catholic understanding of human nature

  • How parents can navigate a system increasingly hostile to Christian values

  • The principle of subsidiarity in education and why it "begins at home"

  • Practical alternatives including homeschooling, private education, and hybrid approaches

  • The importance of protecting children from harmful media influences

Fr. Deacon Christopher shares insights from his experience as a Catholic educator and offers guidance for parents seeking to raise children with authentic Catholic formation. Whether you're concerned about the public school curriculum or looking for alternatives, this conversation provides a framework for understanding today's educational challenges through a Catholic lens. This episode reminds us that as parents are the primary educators of their children, we must be vigilant about the values and worldview being taught to the next generation - and be prepared to take more active roles in their education when necessary.
