Reviews

  • Alternative viewpoints needed with the show

    Show is left leaning and does not effectively present other viewpoints outside of the official views of the parent organization. Would be better served if varied opinions were presented or at least not openingly attacked or used as a straw man.

If you really want them to grow you need to allow them to have ownership in the college admissions process. Highly recommend!
