We are delighted to invite you to a Capitol Hill reception and conversation about one of the most pressing topics of our time—the Covid lockdowns and the future of educational freedom in the West.
Hosted by Senator Rand Paul, Dr. Scott Atlas ([link removed]) and education expert and author James Tooley ([link removed]) will bring their wisdom and expertise to this crucial topic.
Details and Registration ([link removed])
This sober, smart, clear-headed discussion couldn’t come at a more critical time in American life.
Our speakers will shed much-needed light on the harms inflicted on our children through the lockdowns and mandates. Dr. Scott Atlas and Tooley will consider whether the virus merely exposed the deep-rooted problems in America's state-run education system ... or revealed the deep and many problems endemic in our state-run education system. And, most important, they will discuss effective opportunities for educational innovations benefitting our schoolchildren as a result.
This promises to be a thought-provoking, enlightening, and hope-filled discussion on the critical issues facing America's education system and civil liberties.
