–IJ Review
“The film offers clarity to an initiative that is little known by the American public but will affect millions of students across the country.”

–Catholicism USA
“The film points out that, ultimately, the debate is about who gets to decide what’s good for children, parents or the government…Anyone who is concerned about educational freedom and parental rights needs to be aware of what is happening and do all within their power to resist this encroachment on our freedom.”
–Cathy Duffy Reviews
“This film may not have all the answers, but it arms parents with the information they need to ask informed questions at their next Board of Education meeting, state legislative hearing, or education forum. Whether viewed online for free or purchased on DVD, it’s a movie parents can’t afford to miss.”
