“I was enjoying the podcast- However, I remember learning about “Manifest Destiny” many times in school (throughout grade school and high school). I find it strange that they interviewed one woman on the podcast who claims that she never heard of Manifest Destiny until grad school- and then because of that one person they insinuate that children in the US are not taught about Manifest Destiny in history class— perhaps this one woman wasn’t paying attention? We were taught about MD and many other negative aspects of US history (yes, even in the 80s!) in school. They also judge people who lived 150 years ago far too harshly - which IMO is completely ignorant. Still, I was enjoying the podcast but I am lowering my rating due to these gross inaccuracies - and find myself less interested in listening to the rest of the episodes.”
