For decades, leftist ideology has poisoned America’s schools, and the consequences couldn’t be clearer. Free speech is being crushed, cultural chaos is spreading, and actual learning has taken a backseat to woke indoctrination.

But in Florida, Governor Ron DeSantis showed us what real leadership looks like. By transforming the New College of Florida, he restored classical education and intellectual diversity to an institution in desperate need of both—and he put Richard Corcoran at the helm to lead that charge.

What can we learn from this fearless approach to reclaiming education? Dr. Roberts sits down with President Corcoran to talk about how bold action and unapologetic principles can fix our schools and save our culture.

Richard Corcoran is a seasoned conservative policymaker and education reform advocate. He served as Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives. As Florida’s Education Commissioner, Corcoran implemented policies to strengthen academic standards, expand charter schools, and improve vocational education.

In 2023, he was appointed President of New College of Florida by Governor Ron DeSantis to lead its transformation into a classical liberal arts institution focused on intellectual diversity and rigorous academics. His new book is "Storming the Ivory Tower: How a Florida College Became Ground Zero in the Struggle to Take Back Our Campuses."
