GOOD: Military kids will learn Western civ and patriotism in DoD class.
Patriotic values will be taught in schools run by the military, says Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. (That’s not a shocker.) He also wants the school system, which serves children of active-duty military members, to stress classical education.
A new online class on Western civilization will use a textbook on “the ancient world and Christendom,” report AP’s Annie Ma and Konstantin Toropin. The DoD class may use lesson plans created in partnership with Hillsdale College, a conservative Christian school.
“While some classical educators have pushed to incorporate diverse scholars, critics have argued the movement focuses too heavily on foundational texts from Greek, Roman and other Western writers and gives short shrift to achievements in Asia, Africa and the Middle East,” they write.
It appears that learning the classics is now coded as conservative.
That’s because civics and the humanities got hijacked by anti-American Marxists.
