OCT 22, 202660 MIN

Description

Bella d'Abrera is the former Director of the Foundations of Western Civilisation Programme at the Institute of Public Affairs in Australia and the author of Mindless. In this conversation, we think out loud about: • How Paulo Freire conquered every teachers' college in the Anglosphere • The deliberate destruction of the humanities — Shakespeare removed, grievance installed • Geoffrey Blainey — death threats for questioning immigration • The state of Australia — demographic transformation and national mythology • Why the capture of education is a project, not a failure • What recovery actually requires — at the level of a parent, not a policy paper • Thomas Sowell on the political bigotry of the left Sponsored by Aquinas Tuition: https://aquinastuition.co.uk/ Watch The Call of England: https://youtu.be/muBQWIP6ZQQ Register your interest for the Albion Institute: https://albioninstitute.org Thinking Class is a long-form interview podcast on the cultural, historical and civilisational forces shaping Britain, the Anglosphere and the wider West. ▶ YouTube ✍ Substack 🎧 Spotify 🍎 Apple 🐦 X New episodes every Thursday at 3pm.
