Center for Independent Thought is pleased to announce the addition of two directors, Scott Barbee and Michael Ricci.

It is with a heavy heart that we share the news of the passing of David Boaz, a member of our board of directors. For decades, David was a guiding light not only for Center for Independent Thought, but for the world of libertarian thought, as he was able to articulate complex ideas with clarity and passion.

2023 was a year of growth and expansion across CIT’s programs: a new podcast, the launch of Stossel Fellows, a growing teacher network, and new educational materials for classroom use. We hope you'll find inspiration in the positive impact of your support, whether through 100 million+ views of Stossel TV videos or from those who've embraced Stossel in the Classroom materials to educate their students.

On Friday, September 15, in celebration of Constitution Day, Stossel in the Classroom partnered with Izzit.org and The Hammond Institute for Free Enterprise at Lindenwood University to host an engaging session with the esteemed Judge Douglas H. Ginsburg. Judge Ginsburg, from the United States Court of Appeals, explored whether the Constitution is still relevant in today's society and whether it needs to be amended to reflect modern values.

We’re excited to invite you to Stossel in the Classroom's upcoming town hall featuring Oakland University Distinguished Professor Barbara Oakley and John Stossel.

During the session, Barbara will present "Learning How to Learn," covering how slight but powerful tweaks can enhance your teaching—and students' learning, followed by an interview with John.
