“I was excited to see there appeared to be a professional podcast about textbooks and history only to find during the first episode, but especially in the second, a total abandonment of historical analysis for left-leaning, anti-religion, pro-specialization bias. The hosts do not seek to compile research and learn about textbook history and what goes on, rather, they saw an opportunity to assert their beliefs that conservatives have indoctrinated kids for the past 60 years, that America doesn’t hold many Judeo-Christian values (this bring true doesn’t mean America is necessarily religious), and that you can only care about and publicly speak about issues in which you are “qualified,” by arbitrary standards. The hosts believe a couple of caring parent who did their research cannot have rally other parents to have a day in what their kids learn because they aren’t from an educational or political background. The logic here is absurd. I’m really disappointed in this. Maybe the Texans WERE advocating on their Conservative-leaning viewpoint, but this podcast was clearly already convinced of this before they began their research and therefore they are not convincing, which is bad history, bad analysis and argumentation, and BAD JOURNALISM.”
