In September the Independent Institute hosted the event “From Crisis to Opportunity: COVID Lockdowns and Educational Freedom” in Washington, D.C., featuring Senator Rand Paul, Dr. Scott Atlas, and Dr. James Tooley.
The event shed much-needed light on the harms inflicted on our children through the lockdowns and mandates, how the lockdowns exposed deep-rooted problems in America's state-run education system, and, most importantly, what opportunities for educational innovation are possible.
We are especially grateful to Senator Rand Paul for his stirring opening remarks; to Dr. Scott Atlas, for his courage and candor; and to Dr. James Tooley for his research in the world of education and his conviction that we can—indeed, must—do better for our students.
