“Virtually every piece of information that can be co-opted has been, whether it’s Wikipedia online, fact-checkers, the news,” says five-time Emmy Award-winning investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson. “This is all part of a very well-funded, well-organized landscape that dictates and slants the information they want us to have.”

Attkisson is the host of Full Measure and author of “Slanted: How the News Media Taught Us to Love Censorship and Hate Journalism.”

Bethany Mandel Talks ‘Subtle Indoctrination’ in Children’s Books and K-12 Education; New Heroes of Liberty Series

“There’s all of that very overt indoctrination, but I think what’s more damaging is the very subtle indoctrination.” Woke ideology about race and gender often aren’t explicitly included in lesson plans, but instead appear in books teachers use to teach subjects like counting or sentence structure, says conservative commentator and writer Bethany Mandel.

“It normalizes it,” says Mandel, and also makes it so that parents will not necessarily see that such ideas are being taught in their children’s curriculum.

Mandel is the editor of Heroes of Liberty publishing. Their children’s books made headlines after their Facebook ad account was locked and subsequently reinstated. We discuss what she sees happening in the children’s book industry and growing red flags in K-12 education.

Thomas Harrington: How Did Our Society Become So Fearful?

Early on in the pandemic, the data was clear. There was a thousand-fold difference in fatality rates for the elderly versus the young. Yet public policy and public health messaging largely ignored this. In fact, many Americans, when polled, have a highly exaggerated estimation of the risk COVID-19 poses to them.

So what explains this disproportionate reaction?

One man who’s meditated on this very question for the past several months is Thomas Harrington, a professor of language and culture studies at Trinity College and a contributing writer for the Brownstone Institute.

We explore the cultural ills in our society that may explain some of its illogical responses to the pandemic and that created what Harrington calls, “the frightened class.”
