IMPOLITE COMPANY EP 08 Dr Johnnie Seago

On today's episode:
Johnnie Seago is the Executive Director of Paideia Classical School. On today’s show we discuss the importance of Classical Education. We talk about what Classical Education is juxtaposed to modern American Public Education, the failings of modern Public School, and the need to return to the Classics as a primary focal point for education. We also discuss school choice and the impact that it could have on the American Education system, as well as some of the influences from educational philosophers such as Mortimer J. Adler, and John Dewey.

About the show:
Impolite Company is a show where we discuss all the things that you’re not supposed to talk about in polite company, politics, religion, and all the other things that truly matter. The show follows a long form interview format allowing guests to get past talking points and sound clips. On the show, we go deep into the issues, discussing not just the topics at hand, but the philosophy, and theory behind why the guests advocate the positions that they do. This allows the guest to dive deep into the issues that they are passionate about, which is why we have them on the show in the first place. No topic is off limits, and the pursuit of truth, beauty, and goodness is always a priority. Finding ourselves in the midst of a culture war in which “the wrong” opinion can get you “canceled” it has never been more important for our civil society to discuss the important issues, even if it is Impolite.
