“They are ruining our country. I am fed up with people shoving their religion down our throats. I binged this podcast in 3 days. It’s disgusting how vile their beliefs are.”

“This podcast is excellent, and this is critical information that the citizens of Texas need to know. The history of Texas education, going back to the 1960s, is a history of a small group of dedicated people calling the shots for the entire state, and in many cases,’the country. The ties to...”Read full review »

“Great podcast!
Can you imagine graduating with honors from a high school in Texas, going to university out of state with a passion to study and teach American history, and finding that you are at a disadvantage because the curriculum in Texas schools is full of parables at best and propaganda at...”Read full review »

“The facts alone are enough to keep listeners hooked. The Gabler’s made such a strong case against themselves that personal bias was not needed.
I would however give 5 stars for quality! Music, pacing, narration…it was all very well done. But just the facts please…just the facts.”

“Thorough and well documented, but it got heavy handed in its bias at times (as well as unnecessarily personal), which, unfortunately, I think will only serve to tune out the people that need to hear it the most.”

“This podcast should be awake up call to all parents and anyone who believes students need to be allowed to learn about the good and the not so good history of the US. All students should be able to see themselves in the books they read. I am a retired teacher. I am proud to say that many of the...”Read full review »

“This was a fascinating and thorough dive into a dystopian history of the extremist slant forced on a lazy system of school textbook publishing.

“This was a phenomenal podcast! I was completely riveted by the story and so glad this was published. It is scary how these groups can infiltrate public education with no qualifications in history, social studies or teaching. I knew M4L was bad, but they are scarily effective and I didn’t realize...”Read full review »
