We expand awareness of individual liberty,
free markets, and peace.
We are deeply saddened by the passing of David Boaz, a cherished member of CIT's board of directors and the esteemed author of The Libertarian Mind. David's work and dedication to liberty have left a long-lasting mark on our programs. His wisdom and passion for liberty will be greatly missed. Rest in peace, David.
CIT serves as the parent foundation for the following educational activities:
John Stossel came to prominence as an anchor on ABC’s 20/20. He then moved to Fox Business Channel to host the weekly show "STOSSEL."
Now John and his team produce weekly videos available on social media. The videos examine the intended and unintended consequences of government regulation and spending, and promote liberty and free enterprise.
Stossel won 19 Emmy Awards and was honored five times for excellence in consumer reporting by the National Press Club. Other honors include the George Polk Award for Outstanding Local Reporting and the George Foster Peabody Award.
SITC provides teachers and young people with compelling videos for streaming and downloading. These videos challenge assumptions about the effectiveness of government programs and regulations, and play a crucial role in ensuring that young Americans understand the principles and benefits of a free society.
In addition to the videos, SITC provides curriculum and comprehensive teacher guides that include preview activities, viewing guides, discussion and analysis questions, post-viewing activities, worksheets, and more.
SITC isn’t just for teachers; it’s for students, too. Each year, SITC sponsors student essay and video contests.
