The Reason Speakeasy is a monthly, unscripted conversation with outspoken defenders of free expression and heterodox thinking. It doubles as a live taping of The Reason Interview with Nick Gillespie podcast and takes place at one of the coolest settings in Manhattan.
The guest this time is school choice activist Corey DeAngelis where he will discuss his provocative new book, The Parent Revolution: Rescuing Your Kids from the Radicals Ruining Our Schools. A senior fellow at the American Federation for Children and a former education policy analyst at the Reason Foundation (the nonprofit that publishes Reason magazine), Corey has rightly been called “the most effective school choice advocate since Milton Friedman.” His new book explains why K-12 education failed so badly before and during Covid and how to fix it once and for all by making the needs of parents and students the central concern of schooling. If you have school-age kids or care about how your tax dollars are being misspent, you’ll want to hear what Corey has to say.
The Reason Speakeasy takes place at the Blue Building, located at 222 East 46th Street, between 2nd and 3rd Avenues. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., program starts at 7:00 p.m. and features audience Q&A.
Ticket includes beer, wine, soft drinks, a buffet of snacks and appetizers, and an evening of camaraderie and conversation.
