The John Locke Foundation hosts Mike Long, President of Parents For Educational Freedom in NC, as Shaftesbury Society commemorates National School Choice Week. This presentation will feature a special introduction from Dr. Terry Stoops, the John Locke Foundation Vice President for Research and Director of Education Studies. Mike will then discuss the quest to empower families in North Carolina with the freedom to choose an education – public, private, charter, home-school, or virtual – that best meets the needs of their child. Traditional public schools enroll the majority of students in North Carolina, but in recent years, growth has been declining while non-traditional enrollment numbers have been growing rapidly. Join us to learn more about the pursuit of educational freedom in North Carolina.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
