The Ramifications of American Politics on Schools | Scott Wilson | March 14, 2023
Our country is navigating a period of political and social volatility unseen in two generations. The fallout from the nation’s racial reckoning after George Floyd’s murder and the nastiness of contemporary politics has seeped into our schools in ways both overt and unseen. The country’s public schools have historically been on the front lines of such societal change, and, indeed, we are witnessing that phenomenon again.  From teacher attrition to school boards’ overseeing curricula, local, state, and national political movements are challenging the status quo. This session explores how these influences might affect independent schools.
