State Representative Kimberly Fiorello will be holding a Virtual Town Hall via Zoom on Monday, June 28, from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Guests Robert Woodson and Ian Rowe will be speaking at the virtual town hall. You may know Robert Woodson from his many national TV appearances, however, Ian Rowe is an incredible educator and thought-leader, too. Here are some links to watch, if you wanted to learn more about our two guest speakers ahead of Monday’s Town Hall.
Ian Rowe’s Testimony to the Ohio State Board of Education (Sept 2020): 33 minutes
Mr. Rowe gives an excellent account of the 1776Unites curriculum. Q&A from the board members follow. At about the 26:00min, Mr. Rowe comments on how he thinks educations should teach the history of red-lining, racist banking practices, and the Tulsa massacre.
Ian Rowe’s Testimony to the New Hampshire State Board of Education (March 2021): 32 minutes
The reaction of board members in other states is very instructive to watch. The questions we might ask in CT are being asked elsewhere too.
Ian Rowe on “Race in America: Education” for Hillsdale College: 27 minutes
This is a short lecture by Ian Rowe with references to studies and data to support his arguments on the state of education in the US.
