The Fake Degree That Built a Cult

Imagine finding a child's dry spelling workbook in a freezing drainage ditch, a discovery that leads to an arrest for child endangerment and educational fraud. This bizarre find unravels a story of a forty-three-acre property in Tennessee, operating as a "school" with a single, non-existent university credential at its core. How did a simple workbook expose a hidden cult?

In this episode, we delve into the origins of the Covenant of Right Learning, a self-described "learning family" founded by Randy Hansen, a man claiming a master's degree from a university that doesn't exist. We follow Peggy Slater, a fifty-one-year-old nurse seeking educational options for her grandson, as she is drawn into Hansen's world, only to discover a system built on control and isolation.
