The Unafraid Project: HS Political Action Group Student Heads and Professor of Political Science Samuel Abrams P’37 in Conversation During MS Assembly

As part of Dalton’s continuing work with the Unafraid Project, this week Samuel Abrams P’37, professor of political science at Sarah Lawrence College, and three senior student heads of the Political Action Club hosted a guided conversation during the 6th-8th grade Middle School Assembly.
Mr. De Jesús introduced the principles of critical inquiry and ideological pluralism that guide the Unafraid Project while Dr. David Davidson, Dalton High School history and government teacher, shared the central learning objectives for the assembly.
 
Building upon themes introduced during the Middle School Election Teach-In earlier this year, the assembly focused on the outcome of the 2024 national election and the recent changes made by the current Trump Administration. Central objectives included further understanding of the American government structure and our election process, and promoting interest and engagement in civic affairs among our Middle School students.
