From school choice to culture wars, this panel dives into the fiercest debates shaping classrooms and campuses on both sides of the Atlantic. What happens when education becomes the frontline of ideological battles? Are universities still bastions of free thought—or echo chambers of conformity?

With a focus on “woke” policies, identity politics, and the global clash over what (and how) we teach, we’ll unpack how U.S. education trends are redefining the purpose of schooling—and what Europe can learn or approach differently. What does it currently mean to have a conservative approach to education on the two sides of the ocean? From the rise of parental rights movements and education savings accounts to the rewriting of national history, this timely discussion offers fresh perspectives on the evolving role of education in modern society.
