SUMMARY:2025 EdChoice Friedman Index Webinar

SUMMARY:Lawless: The Miseducation of America's Elites with Ilya Shapiro
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with the WashULaw Federalist Society\, the Show-Me Institute is pleased to present Ilya Shapiro\, senior fellow and director of constitutional studies at the Manhattan Institute\, for a discussion of his new book\, Lawless: The Miseducation of America’s Elites. \nRSVP for This Complimentary Event Here\nThursday\, April 10\, 2025 \n12:00 noon \nWashington University in St. Louis Law School \nAnheuser-Busch Hall\, Room 305 \nOne Brookings Drive \nParking Information\nVisitor parking is conveniently located on the 4th level of the Snow Way Garage. You can access the Snow Way Garage via the Big Bend and Snow Way intersection or the Forest Park Parkway and Throop intersection. The Law School (Anheuser-Busch Hall) is to the right of the intersection of Throop Drive and Snow Way. \nThe current parking fee is $15.00 per day or a prorated hourly rate. Payment will be required upon exiting the garage; credit cards are accepted. \nAbout the Book\nLawless: The Miseducation of America’s Elites\nLaw schools used to teach students how to think critically\, advance logical arguments\, and respect oppo­nents. Now those students cannot tolerate disagreement and reject the validity of the law itself. Rioting Ivy Leaguers are the same people who will soon: \n\nBe America’s judges\, DAs\, and prosecutors\nFile and fight constitutional lawsuits\nAdvise Fortune 500 companies\nHire other left-wing diversity candidates to staff law firms and government offices\nRun for higher office with an agenda of only enforcing laws that suit left-wing whims\n\nIlya Shapiro will discuss how we got here and what we can do about it. The problem is bigger than radical students and biased faculty—it’s institu­tional weakness. \nAbout the Speaker\nIlya Shapiro is a senior fellow and director of constitutional studies at the Manhattan Institute. Previously he was executive director and senior lecturer at the Georgetown Center for the Constitution\, and before that a vice president of the Cato Institute and director of Cato’s Robert A. Levy Center for Constitutional Studies. \nRead full bio here. \nThis event is brought to you by: Show-Me Institute\, WashULaw Federalist Society\, Sinquefield Charitable Foundation\, and Show-Me Opportunity.

SUMMARY:Private Screening of "Tune Out the Noise"
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a private screening of the documentary film “Tune Out the Noise\,” followed by a Q&A session with Rex Sinquefield. \nDetails: \nTuesday\, August 13\, 2024 \nDoors open at 5:00 p.m. | Show starts at 5:30 p.m. \nChase Park Plaza Cinemas\, 212 Kingshighway Blvd\, St. Louis\, MO 63108 \nTicket Price: $15.00 per ticket (includes popcorn and soda) \nPurchase Tickets Here\nAbout the Film: Directed by Academy Award winning director Errol Morris\, “Tune Out the Noise” is a documentary film about a group of unlikely upstarts who crossed paths at the University of Chicago in the middle of the 20th century\, just as computers were first being used to analyze data. That serendipitous\, monumental shift enabled them to develop\, and then apply\, research that turned Wall Street upside down\, from its ineffectual investing methods to how those were sold to the public.\nIt’s a story about how finance became a science and challenged the traditional methods of investing. That\, in turn\, led to the invention of index funds\, the founding of Dimensional Fund Advisors—an investment firm dedicated to implementing the science—and the evolution of client-focused financial advice. These advances have benefited generations of investors. \nWatch the Trailer Here \n
