Teaching Texas

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.

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 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!

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 worst?
