We don't tell you what to think;
we just make
sure you can.

To ensure our materials are accurate and impartial, we subject them to a rigorous vetting process. Four times a year, our Policy Advisory Board Co-Chairs Lanhee Chen and Matt Spence convene a meeting of six representatives from our group of policy advisors (three left-leaning; three right-leaning). This six-person subcommittee reviews, revises, and approves the educational materials that serve as the basis for this site. Before our organization presents or publishes educational content, the subcommittee must unanimously agree that the information is a fair and accurate representation of the policy or program, its history, its challenges, and the details of current policy proposals.

We also work with a team of independent researchers to regularly test our educational curriculum. Through audience surveys and focus groups, these researchers provide us with feedback that ensure our resources are effective and meet the informational needs of students from diverse backgrounds, experiences, and points of view. What do student focus group participants have to say?

"I learned so much, and I didn't feel like I was being pushed toward any side at all. I was just learning. It was great."

"It seemed pretty clear that [Free the Facts was] just trying to tell us facts; they weren't trying to push an agenda."

This information doesn't just sit on our website. We regularly update the policy content presented here to account for feedback from the Policy Advisory Board and independent researchers, new reports and current events, and policy proposals and developments. These updates make this site a timely resource, so you can trust that you are getting the latest information.
