Prof. Hanson on citizenship and the New Generation
Professor Hanson is not only an exceptional scholar, he is also an enlightened teacher. Being a top-rated academic and author does not necessarily mean you’re also an instructor and a pedagogue laboring to educate young minds.
Anyone who has done even a modicum of class teaching knows—or, at least, comes to understand at some point—that inculcating younger minds with noble concepts, and showing them the way of absorbing eternal values and ideas, can be a run of trench warfare in the depth of winter.
In this less-than-half-hour video clip, Professor Hanson gives us a perfect example of The Manner of the Daskalos, i.e., the way of the teacher [Daskalos being the Greek word for ‘teacher’.]
He talks with an obviously smart young man on key elements of citizenship and how America is (dangerously) distancing itself from the foundations of Western Civilization via the current wave of debilitating “wokeness” and the slow-burning rejection of America’s constitutional foundations.
A solemn lesson for us all.
