Description

Independent Institute Research Fellow William J. Watkins, Jr. will be joining the discussion with Senior Fellow Dr. Williamson Evers (Director of our Center on Educational Excellence), and Executive Director Dr. Graham Walkerfor this week’s Independent Outlook discussion and Q&A.


Our special focus will be on President Trump’s nomination of U.S. Judge Amy V. Coney Barrett to the U.S. Supreme Court, but we will also feature other topics such as the Presidential Debates and the recent Breonna Taylor grand jury decision and riots.


We hope that you will participate with questions and learn more about our unique Outlook—informed by the principles of liberty and human dignity, and based on scholarly integrity and respect for the facts.
