Education has been a constant driving force in the life of Vince Bertram. Growing up in Indiana, it was Vince’s teachers who inspired him to believe in himself and his future potential. After graduating Ball State University, Vince headed back to school as an educator to make a difference for students, much like his teachers had done for him.

During a 20-year career in secondary education, Vince earned his Master of Education, Specialist in Education, and Doctor of Education degrees, and served as a principal, assistant superintendent, and finally superintendent of Indiana’s third-largest urban school district. He drew state and national recognition for his leadership and the unprecedented accomplishments of the districts which he served.

In 2011, Vince joined Project Lead The Way to make a difference for students across the United States. Today, Vince provides strategic direction, organizational development, guidance, and support to PLTW’s talented team, as well as educators and leaders across the country.

Kirk Cameron has been a part of the national landscape since he starred on the ABC hit “Growing Pains” as a child. Since then, he’s appeared in numerous television and movie productions, including the “Left Behind” series, “Monumental,” and “Fireproof.” He’s been featured on ABC “Nightline,” Fox News, and CNN and currently travels the country speaking to 30 churches a year as part of the “Love Worth Fighting For,” marriage conference. Last fall, he convened a wildly successful Fathom theater event called “Revive Us,” urging people of faith to return to biblical principles and to get involved in the election season. He will host “Revive Us 2” on October 24. He is married to his wife, Chelsea, whom he met on the set of “Growing Pains.” Together they have six children, four of which are adopted.

There is no apologetic for Marxist violence.

If 2016 is the year when our political parties failed, inflicting on America arguably its worst presidential choice in our nation’s history, then 2017 is when our broader institutions began to lose their collective minds. This is the year when reasonable men surrendered to unreason — when political tribalism trumped human decency.

The primary tragedy of Charlottesville was the loss of a young woman’s life. The secondary tragedy was the distortion of our political culture. The president of the United States actually declared some portion of a collection of neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and alt-right white nationalists to be “very fine people.” He just couldn’t bring himself to completely disavow men and women who’d supported him since the day he descended down the escalator at Trump Tower.
