#DEI: THE MISREADING OF 1965. PETER BERKOWITZ, HOOVER. 1908

Can colleges and secondary schools teach American civics (i.e., an examination of the republic's good and bad experiences) without being jingoistic? Peter Berkowitz, the Hoover Institution's Tad and Dianne Taube senior fellow and teacher of a course in American conservatism that's part of the Stanford Civics Initiative, contends that  “patriotism” isn't necessarily indoctrination. Still, reformers need to look beyond college and the late stages of high school. In a wide-ranging discussion with Volker Senior Fellow (adjunct) “Checker” Finn, Berkowitz suggests that the definition of “civics education” be widened to include core learning at the earliest stages of K-12 and a deeper look at how teachers approach their mission.   Recorded on January 14, 2025.

The international community has focused on the conflict in Gaza between Israel and Hamas following Hamas’ massacre of civilians and taking of hostages on October 7th, 2023. However, after Hezbollah joined Hamas’ attack “in solidarity” by launching rockets and artillery at Israelis on October 8th, a second front opened. Fighting raged along Israel’s northern border through much of the past year, displacing large civilian populations for months. Innovative Israeli tactics – including the use of exploding pagers and walkie-talkies and the targeted killing of Hassan Nasrallah and other senior figures – captured the world’s attention, garnering condemnation from some and admiration from others. Our panel of experts will discuss these developments, with a specific focus on the principles of the law of armed conflict and the prospects for peace in an evolving regional landscape.Featuring: Dr. Peter Berkowitz, Tad and Dianne Taube Senior Fellow, Hoover Institution, Stanford University; Former Director of Policy Planning Staff, U.S. Department of StateProf. Diane Desierto, Professor of Law and Global Affairs Faculty Director, LL.M. in International Human Rights Law; Global Director, Notre Dame Law School Global Human Rights Clinic, Notre Dame Law SchoolModerator: Daniel G. West, Managing Director, SCF Partners

Andrew Walworth hosts Boston Herald columnist and New England Law/Boston Professor Wendy Murphy about how the Biden administration's approach to transgender issues may have actually killed any chance that the ERA could become law. Then, Carl Cannon talks with with Peter Berkowitz of the Hoover Institution about how the State Department could galvanize world opinion around "inalienable" rights and reclaim the human rights movement by reflecting American values. Next, Phil Wegmann talks to Rep. Jim Himes, a Connecticut Democrat, about how the Democratic Party can win back the support of middle-class voters. Himes is the ranking member of the House Intel Committee. And lastly, Tom Bevan speaks with Austin Berg of the Illinois Policy Institute about Mayor Brandon Johnson's tenure and the challenges facing the Windy City.
