Excellent - And So Important
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 Christian nationalism are clear and undisputed. If yo’ listen to one episode (and you should listen to them all), listen to Epis’de 7. Because it should matter to every citizen that our social studies TEKS haven’t been revised in 13 years, and will not be revised until 2025. Julie Pickren was elected to the SBOE, the Hillsdale charter is a reality, there is a concerted effort to bring down public ed in this state - and concerned citizens (hello, teachers!) need to speak up and vote!

While the...Read full review »
