19 Aug AI & Education: The Plan to Reinvent Human Thought – Tom DeWeese Interview with Patti Johnson
In this episode of Catching Fire News, Tom DeWeese sits down with education activist and writer Patti Johnson of Glory to God Studio for a wide-ranging discussion about the transformation of American education and the growing role of AI in the classroom.
Johnson draws on her years of experience, including her time on the Colorado State Board of Education, to examine what she believes has happened to traditional academic education. The conversation explores the shift toward technology-driven learning, declining emphasis on reading, writing and mathematics, student data collection, AI-generated schoolwork, the changing role of teachers, and concerns about whether technology can ultimately replace human judgment and personal instruction.
DeWeese and Johnson also discuss the broader philosophical questions surrounding education: Who should control a child’s education? What role should parents have? What happens when students rely on AI rather than learning how to research and think for themselves? And what happens to a free society when generations lose touch with history, literacy and the principles of self-government?
