88. How Does Education Contribute to a Successful Democracy?

It's a question we've been debating for decades: is there political imbalance in higher education? If there is, how does that impact our educational experience? A recent study compiled by professors from differing political perspectives unequivocally concluded that liberal professors are overrepresented on college campuses and universities.

Thomas Jefferson once wrote that "A well informed citizenry is a vital requisite for our survival as a free people." However, in recent years there has been a spike in grade inflation and a reduction in attention span. 
 
In this episode of The Christian Curious Podcast, we explore how these trends are affecting democracy. We interview Dr. Lucas J. Mather, 'The Republican Professor,' who has been a professor of Philosophy, Humanities, and Politics for nearly two decades in California.
