Teachers: If you have students who care deeply about ideas, dialogue, and civic leadership, this is for them. Encourage them to apply — their voices matter.

[Bill of Rights Institute @BRInstitute]

Your students are going to disagree—online, in college, at work.

DMTA teaches them to do it well: listen, cite, respond, stay human.
