📝Should parents have the right to withdraw their children from certain public school classes? On June 27th, the US Supreme Court ruled: YES. 🇺🇸 In our blog, we look at this decision through a human rights lense: oidel.wordpress.com/2025/07/10/par… #RightToEducation #SCOTUS

📄| In a pluralistic world, education must both respect cultural identity & ensure shared knowledge. Our director explores this balance in an article at @FrontiersIn . 🔗 #RightToEducation #Pluralism frontiersin.org/journals/educa…

🎓 What makes a great school system? We sat down with @cardusca Joanna Vanhof to explore the power of educational pluralism, the Canadian model, and how school types shape graduates' lives. 📺 Watch now: youtube.com/watch?v=3MLnkJ… #EducationPluralism #Cardus #RightToEducation

🚨 “Without freedom of education, there is no democracy.” Powerful op-ed in La Nación 🇨🇷 by a friend of OIDEL, Antonio Fernández Rojas, defending educational pluralism and parental choice. #FreedomOfEducation #OIDEL #CostaRica

Breaking! SCOTUS sides with parents in Mahmoud V. Taylor, saying that while the case plays out, the school must notify parents if there are books being read in classrooms that go against the family's religious beliefs.

Last but not least, our final speaker @lesliehiner shared a key lesson: 🙌📚 "The U.S. experience shows: Families respond positively when trusted to choose what type of education is right for their children." #OIDELSummerUniversity #FreedomOfEducation #RightToEducation

Our second speaker, Ignasi Grau, sparked reflection with a powerful statement: 💡 "The main opponents to the freedom of education are totalitarian regimes." #OIDELSummerUniversity #RightToEducation #FreedomOfEducation
