A Must Know
I’ve been screaming into a sea of noise for years about the outsized influence of Texas on textbook contents and how their religious beliefs and myths make students learn misinformation instead of factual history. I have begged for parents to get involved with their schools, demand school boards choose textbooks that aren’t skewed by the Texas requirements. Instead, we got a movement to even further erase history across the country. I hope the parents who listen to this will be inspired to reclaim education from religious extremists and nationalists who want children to learn jingoistic lies instead of real history. It ignores the point of learning history at all; it isn’t for patriotic indoctrination. It’s to have context for understanding the world and avoid repeating ugly pasts. Please save the educational system. Nobody listens to a random childless dude (even if my parents are educators and my mother is an education PhD who has taught every grade). This podcast does the most extensive dive on this I have seen.

I thought this was going to be something completely different. It turned into a bashing of Republicans, religion, parents who have the right to have a say in what their children are being taught, bashing people without the (in the opinion of the host) right credentials to criticize the topics in...Read full review »
