Virtually Visit Olympic Museums Around the World

With the opening ceremony for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games just weeks away, why not use the convenience of the internet to visit Olympic museums in different countries virtually?

If you’ve visited our K-12 Learning Resources, you may have “visited” the Olympic Museum in Lausanne, Switzerland, which offers a 360º virtual tour. 

There are several other Olympic museums throughout the world. Not all have full-scale virtual tours, but most offer an inside look at the museum, videos or contain back stories about featured athletes, and events.

The Mixed Messaging of Moms for Liberty

A Multi-part Examination

What’s the primary message of Moms for Liberty?

According to Vice, apparently not.

Also note the first item listed under “In This Issue” is “A Class in Biblical Citizenship.”

Is this inviting to all parents?
