Today on the Isabel Brown Show, we're break down an INSANE Free Press article written by a Harvard History Professor twisting our most beloved childhood stories — Harry Potter, Narnia, The Lord of the Rings, & more — to sell obedience, compliance, and blind trust in authority... all while accusing YOU of being an authoritarian.

The same institutions these stories taught us to QUESTION are now rewriting the narrative to make the rebels look like the BAD guys… and the ruling class look like the heroes.

Sound familiar?

Today, we uncover:

🔥 The original message of these stories vs. how they’re being reframed

🔥 Why elites NEED to control the stories young people love

🔥 How anti-corruption voices are being painted as “dangerous”

🔥 Why our favorite fiction stories matter to change the real world, too

This isn’t just about books.

This is about shaping how Gen Z sees FREEDOM.

It’s psychological warfare — and it targets your imagination.

If you grew up loving these stories… you need to hear this.

👇 Comment: Which story meant the most to YOU growing up?
