Vocal Point-Tim Head

Topic: Academic Freedom, Including the Freedom to be Politically Incorrect.

Does America need a renewed education in civics? Many Americans would answer that question with a resounding Yes. Pinkston Communications writes: In recent news, the University of Texas at Austin announced a $100 million investment in the School of Civic Leadership for a free inquiry program focused on civics education and constitutional principles. Multiple schools across the country are following this trend and encouraging intellectual diversity and debate that let students explore social ideas without feeling political pressure. Timothy Head, president and CEO of Unify.US and former executive director of the Faith & Freedom Coalition, is concerned about “the importance of encouraging students in higher education to have open discussions and debates about ideology and social controversies, without the fear of political polarization.” Timothy founded Unify.US to help improve the discourse surrounding traditional American values. Tim Head joins Jerry Newcombe to discuss academic freedom in higher education. www.unify.us
