At the center of scrutiny of public schools, is a narrativethat they “indoctrinate” students.  Heidi tackles one of these often talked about myths and the false claims, by bringingon a pair of high school teachers Erica Emerson and Erin Lyness.  They breakdown from where, and how, curriculum (ie: what is taught) originates. 

How are controversial topics handled and the ways students are encouraged to have varying viewpoints? The ways students are taught about vetting sources and understanding why certain opinions and views on topics exists.

Along the way, they separate fact from fiction and highlight the role parents and communities can play in creating further balance.
