Keynote Speakers
Join us at the forefront of educational transformation during the Liberation of Education Virtual Conference & National Open House. Our distinguished keynote speakers are pioneering leaders, thinkers, and innovators who are reshaping the educational landscape through student-centered and experiential learning. From bottom-up solutions to the intersection of education and democracy, and the empowerment of parents within the legal system, each speaker brings a unique perspective on making education more accessible, democratic, and tailored to the needs of the individual learner.
David Delugas
Parents USA
David is, first and foremost, the father to a 17 year old boy. After graduating from Duke University, David worked for Xerox Corporation before completing his law degree from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. Licensed to practice law in Georgia and to appear before several U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeal and the U.S. Supreme Court, David is a trial and appellate attorney with expertise in Constitutional law and family law. He founded the National Association of Parents after observing the complete absence of an entity in the USA with the size and power to look after the interests of parents and their children and to do so without an outcome-driven agenda, rather than only protecting the constitutional rights of parents. David resides in Metro Atlanta.
