WATCH: As we begin our journey toward @America250, I'm reminded of Ronald Reagan's words at our 200th in a poignant radio address titled, "Shaping the World for 100 Years to Come." We used to speech to celebrate @PepperdineSPP's own 25th anniversary, and it continues to ground our work, preparing public leaders who will, indeed, shape our nation and world for 100 years to come. youtube.com/watch?v=K3YFsF_w…

"I don't think parents should be telling schools what to teach." - Terry McAuliffe, VA Gov Candidate, 2021, leading to his defeat by Youngkin. This is, essentially, what our Governor is saying TODAY when he lets these kinds of arguments from the CTA go unanswered.
CTA opposes legislation that would emphasize the importance of “foundational literacy skills.”

For the first time since WWII, every governing party facing election in a developed country this year lost vote share, via @jburnmurdoch 2024 Democrats are the red dot. Absolutely critical context to any postmortem.

Wonderful to see our friends at the @RonaldReagan post this video from Pres. Reagan's first POST-presidency remarks @pepperdine. RR's speech about political reform is interesting, but it's how he answers 45 mins of student ?'s that's really remarkable. youtube.com/watch?v=yGukxGvu…
