A great discussion with @UofSC legislative alums and members of the broader community for last evening’s timely event, “Can the Constitution Unify Americans?” with Yuval Levin. In a time of differing views, understanding our system—and its aims—matters more than ever. 🇺🇸📜

Combining education, workforce, economic, and community health data provides not only salient policy implications, but also the tools to support localized decision-making. @SCTEACHERtweets is well on the way to providing an exemplar for this work in SC.

I had a chance to discuss First Amendment issues on college campuses with Thad Westbrook, Chairman of the USC Board of Trustees, and explore how our state's flagship university is fostering a culture of respectful dialogue through the Center for American Civic Leadership and Public Discourse.
