I used to play recitals at the GW Masonic Memorial when I was in the USAF Band. It was kind of a “theater of the round” setting with everyone seated around you.

Thank you for a wonderful presentation today at Georgetown University. I especially appreciated the attention you gave to the students, particularly how you answered their questions so clearly and thoughtfully.

Thank you for sharing this! I really liked your last book on the Texas schools, “They Came for the Schools.” Is there another book in the works?

Very good article. I appreciated the transparency about your detailed sources and methodology. As a Vet and VA beneficiary, I think it starts with the system, and then it gets exploited by bad faith actors.
