Christopher Rufo is a prominent voice in the national conversation on education, culture, and public policy. A Hillsdale Distinguished Fellow, a role recognizing exceptional contributions to advancing classical education and public discourse, and a contributing editor for City Journal, Mr. Rufo is the author of America’s Cultural Revolution. He has been a leading advocate for curriculum transparency and parental involvement in education, shaping legislation that ensures public schools disclose classroom materials so parents can engage meaningfully in their children’s education, particularly on sensitive topics such as race, gender, and ideology.

In addition to his policy work, Rufo has been instrumental in reforming higher education. Appointed by Governor Ron DeSantis to the board of New College of Florida, he spearheaded transformative changes, introducing a classical liberal arts curriculum. With a focus on moral arguments, Rufo continues to challenge ideological biases in public institutions, offering a vision for education rooted in transparency, accountability, and enduring values.
