You give us 45 minutes,  we’ll give you the world.

Meet the only current events course for the clever, kosher (and uber-cool) teen.

School as we know it has changed.

You’re a concerned and committed educator 

You’ve got your finger on the pulse

You know your students inside-out 

But are you fighting a losing battle?

Are your students hooked to 

devices that stunt dialogue?

cyber toys that crush conversation? 

foreign values that pulverize freedom of thought?

Bets down, 

the pervasive, 

polarizing,

perfidious 

world of iCulture 

has them in their grip.

 Mercilessly. 

We need to fight fire with fire

Your millennial students

 need something

MORE 

 more powerful,

 more provoking,

more rousing 

to capture their interest and fuel their flame

Something that will get them out of 

social media and chat rooms,

 and back into the world of

 refreshing, respectful, and real dialogue

Introducing

Current Issues

a series of weekly skill-based lessons showcasing 

controversial, compelling, & completely kosher

 current event topics

Headlines you can’t resist

  • Do military men have freedom of speech?
  • Who do children belong to — you or the government?
  • Whether he attacks Ukraine or not, Putin has already won

Get them debating real-world topics without fighting street sleaze

Real-world stories

 Real student engagement 

For real Gen-Z’s 

“A breath of fresh air!”

“Rivka Stern manages to be conservatively intelligent without being politically polarizing. Her content and language are sophisticated, respectful, and non-contentious. A breath of fresh air! Kids who can’t relate to the same old, same old are connecting in the classroom in a way they never did before.”  

- Mrs. Zlata Press, Principal of Bnos Leah of Prospect Park Highschool
