School Lied to You: 10 Facts They Get Wrong | Wilfred Reilly

Sitting In Podcast | Ep. 034 - Wilfred Reilly is a political scientist, a professor, and an author.

The education system has spread major mischaracterizations of history through left-leaning perspectives, which tend to minimize modern flaws and emphasize historical flaws - but only for America. Wilfred Reilly evaluates many of those topics from a more neutral lens, and doesn't skip over "inconvenient" facts like many U.S. history classes do.

In today's episode, you can expect to learn:

- Why these lies exist in modern education

- What caused academia to hate itself

- Why the Red Scare, Vietnam War, and 3/5ths Compromise happened differently than you were taught

and much more!
