For as long as educational institutions have existed, Americans have fought bitterly about how they should teach, who they should serve, and to what end. Join historian Natalia Mehlman Petrzela to understand the stakes of these conflicts and how they have evolved over time -- and to contemplate, together, whether today's battles over education really are as unprecedented as they may seem.

Tom Hardin is a member of our <a href="https://prisonist.org/white-collar-support-group/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">White Collar Support Group</a>® that meets on Zoom on Monday evenings.
We are pleased to have Tom Hardin, widely known as “Tipper X,” as our White Collar Support Group’s® May 2026 Tuesday Night Speaker Series presenter to discuss his new book Wired on Wall Street: The Rise and Fall of Tipper X, One of the FBI’s Most Prolific Informants.
The presentation, which is open to justice-impacted people, family, friends, professionals, clients, colleagues and anyone interested or in need will take place via Zoom on May 12, 2026 at 7 PM ET (4 PM PT).
Register Here: <a href="https://prisonist.org/resources/tom-hardin-tipper-x-wired-on-wall-street/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://prisonist.org/resources/tom-hardin-tipper-x-wired-on-wall-street/</a>
At just 29 years old, Tom Hardin found himself at the center of the largest insider trading investigation in Wall Street history. After being approached by the FBI outside his Manhattan apartment in 2008, the Wharton-educated hedge fund analyst became one of the most prolific cooperating witnesses in securities fraud history. Known by his federal code-name “Tipper X,” Tom wore a covert body wire on over 40 occasions, helping the FBI build more than 20 of the 80+ criminal cases in “Operation Perfect Hedge” — the largest insider trading investigation of a generation. His cooperation contributed to landmark convictions, including the 11-year prison sentence of billionaire Galleon Group founder Raj Rajaratnam.
During this presentation, Tom will share his remarkable journey — from crossing the line from unethical to illegal activity as a young professional, to the psychological toll of living a double life as an undercover informant, to the devastating aftermath of public disgrace, and ultimately, to his path toward personal transformation and redemption.
