The Locke Society

The Locke Society aims to create a network of conservative and moderate educators and professionals working together to ensure that the next generation of Americans is not overwhelmingly socialist. We cannot afford to lay idle while falsehoods about America permeate the education system.

The only way to ensure that the next generation of Americans is not overwhelmingly socialist is with The Locke Society. By encouraging conservatives to enter the educational field, the United States will remain the country of opportunity and freedom.
