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:2025 EdChoice Friedman Index Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Register here to reserve your spot for this virtual event today.\nHow much educational freedom do families in Missouri really have? \nThe 2025 EdChoice Friedman Index offers a first-of-its-kind measurement of private education choice across the nation. Inspired by the vision of Milton and Rose Friedman\, this report evaluates how effectively each state empowers families to direct education funding toward the best options for their children—whether public or private. \nIn The 2025 EdChoice Friedman Index: All Students\, All Options\, All Dollars\, EdChoice Friedman Fellow Ben Scafidi and EdChoice Senior Research Associate Colyn Ritter present a comprehensive analysis of education choice programs in all 50 states. The report examines how well states enable families to access and afford private education through choice programs. \nJoin the Show-Me Institute on Wednesday\, April 30th\, at 11:00 AM CT / 12:00 PM ET for an insightful discussion and Q&A session with Ben Scafidi and Colyn Ritter on The 2025 EdChoice Friedman Index. \nYou can access the Friedman Index here. You won’t want to miss this! \nBrought to you by: Show-Me Institute\, EdChoice and Show-Me Opportunity \n
