Rodney Hide introduces what he believes is his most important interview of the year with Elisabeth Cave, who has studied how schools are disrupting children’s sense of identity. He reflects on a past where education fostered character, critical thinking, and a strong sense of belonging. Schools once focused on values, community, and personal development, but he argues that today’s system deliberately unsettles children, encouraging them to question their identity through race, gender, and sexuality from an early age.

Hide warns that this shift leads to confusion, anxiety, and a loss of personal stability, ultimately making individuals more dependent on the state. He describes this as an intentional design rather than a flaw, a transformation that has taken decades. While politicians remain unaware and teachers are indoctrinated, he insists families must take responsibility—reinforcing character and belief through home life, clubs, sports, and faith to counteract the impact of the education system.
