Are you concerned about the future of public education? Kevin Bolling, Executive Director of the Secular Student Alliance, will be shedding light on the growing conservative efforts to undermine our schools. From curriculum and book bans to the push for private school vouchers and privileging Christianity, Kevin will explore how these movements threaten the foundation of democratic learning. With real-life examples and historical insights, he’ll lay out the systematic challenges that could reshape education for generations.
Kevin is the executive director of the Secular Student Alliance. He has served in that position since 2017. Kevin brings with him 20 years of nonprofit leadership experience. His career has included over 10 years of student association management and on-campus program development from Los Angeles to Boston. For 10 years, Kevin served as the Executive Director of the California Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Foundation, a charitable trust serving the healthcare needs of the industries’ largely immigrant workforce. Most recently, Kevin served as the Director of Philanthropy at the Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles, a major LGBTQ arts advocacy organization, whose youth outreach work has moved thousands of hearts and minds across the US towards embracing LGBTQ equality.
