BONUS: Introducing Teaching Texas
from Womanica
Introducing Wonder Media Network's latest audio documentary, Teaching Texas. In 1961, Norma and Mel Gabler were a quiet couple living in Longview, Texas. One day, they noticed some factual errors in one of their sons’ textbooks. What began as a small complaint morphed into a multi-decade crusade to shape what children of Texas — and therefore the country — read in their textbooks. In an election year with raging debates around education, this audio documentary charts how Texas dictated American education over the last sixty years and examines how the fight over our children's classroom has only intensified today.WMN on Twitter: @wmnmediaGrace Lynch on Twitter: @gracelynch08 Hosted on Acast.
