Please join us for three events to kick off our second year, and help us to raise funds to support educators who are on the front lines of the struggle for truth and democracy. We are seeking to raise funds to send 100 teachers -- from kindergarten through higher education, from all across the United States and beyond -- to travel with the Institute on learning tours, to enroll in continuing education, and to receive small grants to support the zillion ideas that teachers have that school districts can't or won't fund. We need your support!

The second of three events:

Speaker: Dr. Samuel Joeckel

Date: Wednesday, July 19th at 5 pm PDT on Zoom

Dr. Joeckel was a professor of English and professor in the honors program at Palm Beach Atlantic University for over twenty years, until he was fired in February 2023 for his teaching of accurate American history. He is the author of The C.S. Lewis Phenomenon: Christianity and the Public Sphere and editor of The Christian College Phenomenon: Inside America’s Fastest Growing Institutions of Higher Learning. He has written articles on a wide variety of topics: disability studies, humor theory, happiness, and the poet William Cowper. He taught units on racial justice in his classes for twelve years before he was terminated after a parent complained that his racial-justice unit was “indoctrinating students.”
