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.

The evidence accumulated very early on in the pandemic that the use of sequenced multi-drug therapeutics (SMDT) under physician guidance was beneficial and that some medications were safe and effective. We refer to repurposed therapeutics that have been regulatory approved and have been used in some instances for decades for other illnesses.

The Obedient Generation

As I watched the teenagers of E.T. flying past the sun, I wept for their bravery, and their fraternity, but I also wept for you, my shiny young neighbors. We, this nation, have raised you obeisant. The generation that “turned on, tuned in, and dropped out” (and the slightly younger punks) raised you with none of their same rebelliousness, nor with the faith and humility of their parents. So what did they give you instead? Obey, and you’ll be rewarded.

Students with Disabilities Need the Least Restrictive Environment

More than other members of society, children are at a critical phase in development, with their well-being largely dependent on the good judgement of the adults around them. As we wrap up the holiday season, full of reminders of the innocence and joy of childhood, it’s time to embrace our responsibility, as adults, to protect that innocence through reasonable pandemic policy.

Dear Stanford: I Will Not Spend Another Semester Locked Down

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

I am 31 years old, and I do not want to feel like I am being monitored and punished like a teenager for making my own decisions about how to live my life. I do not trust Stanford or county public health officials to protect my right to live my life as I see fit or respect me as an adult to make such choices.

Farewell, University of California

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

In violation of every basic principle of just and fair employment, the University tried to prevent me from doing any outside professional activities while I was on unpaid suspension. In an effort to pressure me to resign, they wanted to restrict my ability to earn an income not only at the University but outside the University as well. It was dizzying and at times surreal.
