Teaching Texas - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Well-researched and exceptionally produced. I love the potent blend of historical facts, humor, and colorful profiles. I hope this podcast series becomes a wake up call everywhere, not just Texas.

Going to public school in the 1960s-early 1970s, I was lucky to have in my life some very creative and dedicated teachers who encouraged us to question everything, to practice openness and tolerance (what is now called inclusivity). There was a political divide then, too, but at least you could converse with most people civilly.

I’m appalled by how far things have disintegrated. Thanks for putting this show together. There’s a lot of wisdom. I will share it widely.

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 how far back this went until listening to this podcast.

This was a fascinating and thorough dive into a dystopian history of the extremist slant forced on a lazy system of school textbook publishing. No wonder much of the South and Midwest live in an alternative reality to those whose education held much more truth, no matter how uncomfortable it might be for some. Well done.

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 books I used in my middle school literature classes are being banned now. These books did make some of the students uncomfortable. That is what books are supposed to do. Life is uncomfortable.

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.
