They Never Taught Me That: Recent Episodes
Justin Spears
High school teachers Mike Margeson and Justin Spears bring you the side of societal topics you didn't get in the classroom.
In this episode we debunk the myth of the "Dark Ages". While most historians have dropped that phrase, the age between the fall of Rome and the Renaissance is still one viewed as non-important. Nothing could be further from the truth. Tune in to learn just a snippet of what they never taught you about the Middle Ages.

In this episode we break down the historical narrative and connection of slavery to the United States. This is part one of a two part series that will include a rebuttal to the 1619 Project.
In this episode we introduce you to one of the most bizarre plots in US History. Operations Northwoods was a false flag operation that would have seen the CIA and DoD carryout attacks to pin on the Cubans in 1962 to justify overthrowing Cuba.

Tonight we take on US foreign policy. What were you taught about the role of foreign policy and how the US deals with international affairs. We guess it was probably pretty one sided and had something to do with America rescuing the world. Tune in to find out what they didn't teach you about foreign policy.
We never hear about the negative impacts of war on the economy. The typical narrative is that war pulls the economy out of recessions or depressions. It kickstarts production and employees people who were not working before. There is a darker side that we address and will leave you saying they never taught me that!
Today we take on a side of Abraham Lincoln you have probably never been taught. Tune in to see what you learn about the "Great Emancipator"
