Johns Hopkins Professor Lauds ProCon.org “Our democracy depends on an informed electorate and ProCon.org plays a vital role educating citizens in a balanced way about a vast number of challenging issues for our nation. As an educator, I am impressed with the reach ProCon.org already has to over 25 million people each year and believe the organization plays a critical role in civic education which is more important now than ever for the country.” July 12, 2018 – Kathy Wagner Hill, PhD, Director of the Center for Advanced Governmental Studies at Johns Hopkins University and ProCon.org Ambassador Civics Leader Peter Levine Says ProCon.org Is “Fantastic” “Encouraging students to discuss controversial, current issues is an essential component of social studies education, but it’s hard to make classroom discussions balanced and informed. ProCon.org is a fantastic resource for teachers to facilitate meaningful classroom discussions and stimulate unbiased civic learning.” June 3, 2013 – Peter Levine, PhD, Professor of Citizenship & Public Affairs, PhD, Tufts University, Director of CIRCLE: The Center for Information & Research on Civic Learning & Engagement

Michael Klein, investment banker and former part-owner of the San Diego Chargers “I have always had a keen interest in fair public policy, and to the extent that ProCon.org helps to create an accurate and fair understanding of many issues, it makes me proud to be a supporter.” Nov. 2, 2010
Michael Wermers, President of the Torrance Unified School District Board “ProCon.org prides itself at providing a level and unbiased perspective of both sides of an issue. They address some of today’s most pressing and controversial discussions with intelligence and respect these issues deserve. It is refreshing in today’s toxic environment of partisan politics and short sound bites to have a subject covered in such detail. I’ve also had the pleasure of meeting several of the employees of ProCon.org and they are as intelligent and introspective as their site suggests. I strongly recommend ProCon.org for your consideration.” Aug. 11. 2018
Larry Sanger, Co-Founder of Wikipedia “The whole project looks wonderful, from the point of view both of a researcher and of someone who loves neutrality in educational resources. My compliments also to whoever designed the site and its software. It is remarkably well-laid-out… I am also impressed by the apparent care and thought that went into making the resource as a whole both neutral and open. They seem to have really thought out just what you would have to do in order to create a neutral debate site, and have gone far above and beyond the approach that most newspapers or encyclopedias take. Among other things, I am glad that they both let partisans state their own views as forcefully as possible, and give amazingly full information about the partisans and their affiliations. In short, I am heartened that – it seems – there might be somebody out there who believes as much as I do in the possibility and beneficiality of neutrality.” Oct. 12, 2018 |
