*NOTE 1* - THIS IS THE 1ST PART OF A 2-PART EPISODE!  *NOTE 2* - The topic discussion starts at 16:30.

After the launch of Sputnik in 1957, the United States realized that it needed to step up education so the U.S. didn’t fall behind the rest of the world. This eventually led to programs like GATE (Gifted and Talented Education), where students were tested, and those that were deemed advanced were pulled from class for separate programs.  In the years since, stories began to circulate online about GATE students who said that the program wasn’t entirely what it was made out to be. Stories of strange tests, missing time, and sinister scenarios began to show up. And what does all of this have to do with The Mandela Effect, remote viewing, and a place called The Tavistock Institute? In this two-part episode, Krista and Kurt look at the GATE program and school weirdness!

And, as always, a taste-test!
