Back to Marilyn vos Savant. Did you hear about the time that people piled on against her when they thought they’d caught her in a mistake.
In her Parade magazine column, Marilyn tackled a famous probability puzzle called the Monty Hall problem. 
 
It’s simple in theory: You’re on a game show, choosing one of three doors. Behind one is a car; the other two hide goats. After you pick, the host reveals a goat behind one of the doors you didn’t choose and offers you the chance to switch.
 
Marilyn correctly explained that switching increases your odds of winning the car from 1/3 to 2/3. 
 
The result? Mockery. 
 
She received thousands of letters—many from math teachers and academics—insisting she was wrong. The backlash was so intense, it made headlines.
But Marilyn wasn’t wrong. She was absolutely, mathematically right.
 
Computer models at MIT showed that Marilyn was correct, and years later, Mythbusters even did an episode on it. (It’s worth watching just for fun!)
 
Marilyn blamed the public education system for the backlash, pointing out that many people aren’t just uninformed—they’re actively hostile toward anyone who challenges their misunderstandings. 
 
Our schools don’t teach critical thinking; they teach memorization. 
 
They don’t encourage curiosity; they reward conformity. 
 
And the results speak for themselves: we live in a society where brilliant people are mocked and hated for speaking the truth.
 
This story is a perfect example of why I’m so passionate about what we do. 
 
The world doesn’t need more people who can regurgitate answers—it needs independent thinkers who can solve problems, challenge bad ideas, and stand for what’s right, even when it’s unpopular.
 
That’s why our books, curriculum, and resources focus on teaching the principles of liberty, personal responsibility, and sound reasoning—ideas that schools simply don’t teach.
 
But we do. 
 
And there’s never been a better time to stock up. 
 
Our Black Friday Sale is open now! It features our biggest discounts of the year on our very best offerings.
 
Both bundles are packed with resources that will empower your kids to think critically, understand how the world works, and challenge the bad ideas they’ll inevitably encounter.
