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 sins inflicted on our children through the lockdowns and mandates. Drs. Atlas and Tooley will consider whether the virus caused the deep-rooted problems in America's state-run education system ... or revealed them. 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.
PLUS, the first twenty guests to arrive will receive a FREE COPY of James Tooley’s book, Really Good Schools: Global Lessons for High-caliber, Low-cost Education ([link removed]) !
