Are you concerned about the future of public education? Kevin Bolling, Executive Director of the Secular Student Alliance, will be shedding light on the growing conservative efforts to undermine our schools. From curriculum and book bans to the push for private school vouchers and privileging Christianity, Kevin will explore how these movements threaten the foundation of democratic learning. With real-life examples and historical insights, he’ll lay out the systematic challenges that could reshape education for generations.
