Education 20/20 Speaker Series with Arthur Brooks and Adam Meyerson

Recorded on April 11, 2019

The Education 20/20 speaker series, sponsored by the Thomas B. Fordham Institute and the Hoover Institution, aims to fill a void in the education reform conversation. Over the course of the 2018–19 school year, prominent writers, intellectuals, and policymakers will provide compelling answers to the age-old question, “What's the purpose of school?”

For part seven of our series, Arthur Brooks and Adam Meyerson discuss the adverse shift from foundational knowledge to left-leaning activism in America's civic education and the importance of restoring the dignity in education and the workforce.
