SUMMARY:School Vouchers: What’s the Effect on Public and Private Education?
DESCRIPTION:Speaker(s): Dan Heintz\, Cleveland Hts.-University Hts. School Board Member\, Chardon Teacher\, and Steering Committee Member of the Vouchers Hurt Ohio coalition; other speaker TBD \n\n\n\nSince the late 1990’s Ohio’s voucher system has increased access to state-funded school scholarships.  Previously\, eligibility was  primarily based  on a family’s income or a school’s academic performance.  Since 2023’s dramatic voucher expansion\, most K-12 students are eligible for scholarship assistance to both private and parochial schools. Do these school  choice programs create a competitive educational marketplace?  Or are the school vouchers unconstitutional\, given the use of public tax funds for private and religious education? Currently l/3 of Ohio’s public schools are financed by the school voucher program.

SUMMARY:The States of the Earth: An Ecological and Racial History of Secularization with Mohamed Amer Meziane 
DESCRIPTION:You’re Invited:   \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n“An extraordinary book. Mohamed Amer Meziane’s breathtaking analysis of the  making of fossil states opens to a new genre of history writing where the very layers of  earth’s riches are at its center.”  \n\n\n\n—Ann Laura Stoler\, author of Carnal Knowledge and Imperial Power\, Along the  Archival Grain  \n\n\n\nHow the disenchantment of empire led to climate change  \n\n\n\nWhile industrial states competed to colonize Asia and Africa in the nineteenth century\,  conversion to Christianity was replaced by a civilizing mission. This new secular impetus  strode hand in hand with racial capitalism in the age of empires: a terrestrial paradise was  to be achieved through accumulation and the ravaging of nature.  \n\n\n\nFar from a defense of religion\, The States of the Earth argues that phenomena such as  evangelism and political Islam are best understood as products of empire and  secularization. In a world where material technology was considered divine\, religious and secular forces both tried to achieve Heaven on Earth by destroying Earth itself.  \n\n\n\nVia Zoom – REGISTER: OCTOBER 9
