đź“• Today, David sits down with Robert Bortins, who co-authored the book Woke and Weaponized: How Karl Marx Won the Battle for American Education with journalist Alex Newman.
Robert breaks down the hidden historical blueprint behind modern ideological capture — from early collectivist movements and Prussian education models, to teachers colleges, federal bureaucracy, and the modern classroom.
This isn’t just theory. Robert argues today’s public school system isn’t “broken” — it’s wildly successful at producing the outcomes it was designed for.
