William Bennett Biography

William J. Bennett is an American conservative political theorist, author, and public servant best known for his roles in the administrations of Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush. He earned degrees from Williams College, Harvard University, and the University of Texas School of Law. His early career was shaped by a commitment to education and morality in public life, leading to his appointment as Chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities in 1981. In this role, he emphasized traditional American values and the study of Western civilization.

In 1985, Bennett became the U.S. Secretary of Education under President Reagan, advocating for educational reforms centered on academic rigor, discipline, and parental involvement. He was outspoken on issues like school choice and accountability, often challenging both federal and local education policies that he felt undermined educational standards. His tenure brought him national attention as a fierce advocate for higher standards in education and the preservation of American heritage in school curricula.

After his work in education, Bennett served as the first Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy, often referred to as the “Drug Czar,” under President George H.W. Bush from 1989 to 1990. In this role, he tackled the drug crisis by advocating for a robust approach to both law enforcement and prevention, which included widespread public education campaigns.

Beyond his government roles, Bennett has authored several influential books, including "The Book of Virtues," "The Moral Compass," and "America: The Last Best Hope," which explore themes of character, ethics, and American history. Through his writing, Bennett has been a prominent voice in promoting personal responsibility and patriotism. He also hosted a conservative talk show, "Morning in America," and frequently appears on television as a commentator on moral and social issues. Today, Bennett continues to influence public discourse through his writings, speeches, and media appearances, focusing on traditional values and conservative principles.

William Bennett Speaking Topics

Education Today: Tough Problems, Tougher Solutions

America is in dire need of improving its educational system but more inputs—from money to personnel—is not the solution. The Secretary of Education who garnered both controversy and admiration for his fiercely passionate views on educating—and not failing—the nation’s children, Bill Bennett delivers bold solutions for closing the achievement gap through testing, tough standards, better books, and better teachers (and more rewards for those teachers). With an eye toward the future, Bennett shares what America must do to stay competitive with the systems in Europe and Asia including innovating in areas such as online education, charter schools and cutting the educational bureaucracy so that states and localities have the resources they need to increase educational performance and secure America’s economic future.
The Promise of America in Challenging Times

Economic, political and social headlines have undermined the foundations of America’s faith in its future. At the center of American life for the last four decades, first as a Cabinet official in the administrations of Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush and as one of the country’s most respected political analysts, Bill Bennett reminds us that we have triumphed through hardship before—and have become a stronger nation because of it. In this uplifting discussion that dispels the notion that America’s best days are behind us, the patriotic Bennett inspires citizens to get involved in the national discourse and boldly confront the complex issues that lie before us. Bennett shows, that even through the most trying of times, America remains the world’s last best hope whose achievements remain high and remarkable.

Mornings in America: A Look at the Political Landscape

In today’s political culture, Democrats and Republicans divide on practically everything from war to gay marriage to health care to Supreme Court nominations. Is the intensity and animosity of today’s political climate unprecedented or exaggerated? Or is this just business-as-usual Washington politics? And how has an intense political climate impacted the Obama Administration’s agenda and its working relationship with Congress? A well-known Republican who has crossed party lines throughout his political career to pursue important common purposes, Bill Bennett has the pulse of the American electorate as the host the popular, nationally-syndicated radio program Bill Bennett’s "Mornings in America." In this timely presentation, Bennett gets to the truths behind the current political prevailing sentiments and engages in a lively conversation on the issues moving the American electorate.
