Education

Education articles deliver critical analysis of education policy, public schools, universities, trends, and current events — examining their profound impacts on social life, public health, freedom of speech, personal liberty, child development, mental health, and individual freedoms.

We investigate issues like school mental health surveillance and universal screening programs, COVID-era betrayals by institutions, DEI indoctrination in medical and higher education, university science decline and credentialism, gender ideology in classrooms, parental rights erosion, failed public schooling, meritocracy restoration, alternative models (e.g., homeschooling), and pathways to reform that prioritize critical thinking, evidence-based teaching, and human-centered education over compliance and centralized control.

All articles from Brownstone Institute are translated into multiple languages to enable global access, international dialogue on schooling and liberty, and empower parents, educators, and students worldwide to challenge failing systems.

My Letter to Wellesley’s Academic Council and Administration

No one should have to violate her conscience or her body because she is being coerced into doing so by an institution far bigger and far more powerful than she is, an institution that holds its boot over her head while it claims to fight for her rights as a woman to make her own decisions.

A Wellesley Student Speaks Out

If Wellesley—or if any one of the other institutions with remaining vaccine mandates—thinks it faces no consequences, it is sorely mistaken: as students, as well as faculty and staff, trace their own adverse medical events back to college mandates, the buck for the physical damage will stop with colleges, morally, legally, and financially.

How College Mandates Shattered My Dreams

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

When I was canceled from UConn, I was in the middle of writing a neurosurgery research journal article and my participation was abruptly stopped. I was planning to study abroad in my junior year, which would have been this year. I looked forward to entering dental school and eventually opening a dental practice. I made a choice for my body – and my college life was interrupted indefinitely.

You’re Aggressive, but I’m Not

As every great religious tradition reminds us, the proclivity to do ill to others is vividly present in everyone during the entire course of our lives on earth, and that the first and most effective step towards ensuring that this inner monster does not take control of our destinies is acknowledging its enduring presence within us. It is then, and only then, that we can shape effective and enduring strategies to keep it at bay.

An Update on College Mandates

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Colleges have known since mid-2021 that COVID-19 vaccines do not prevent infection or reduce the community spread. In addition, college students are not at high risk for severe illness or hospitalization from COVID-19, yet they are forced to risk potential adverse events when they are stripped of the fundamental right to informed consent and a risk/benefit analysis in consultation with health care providers.

Coercion on Campus Stops When Students Say No

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

What can you do as an individual against a multi-million dollar institution full of important people with doctorates? What if you get cancelled? What if you lose everything you have worked for? These are important considerations. But remember this, 21st-century universities are commercial enterprises and you are their customers. They don’t exist without you.

The Universities Failed Us During the Pandemic

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Both universities and governments imposed extreme policies, extending to the micro-management of everyday life during lockdowns and gross violations of human rights, including the right to bodily autonomy. These extreme policies were not supported by hard evidence of effectiveness either at the time or since.
