Here’s something that nobody talks about. If you went to school in America, almost every single aspect of your education, from the books you read to the tests you took to the colleges you applied to, were shaped and controlled by people who directly supported Jeffrey Epstein. Many leaders of American education even helped Epstein obtain his victims and potentially took part in these disgusting acts themselves. Let’s get into it. These are McGra Hill books. If you went to school in America, you’ve
00:00:27 - 00:01:28
definitely come across one of these books before. McGraw Hill was pretty much the biggest education publisher in the USA. And this school textbook company was owned by a man who helped fund Jeffrey Epstein’s lifestyle. You see, from 2013 to 2021, Mcra Hill was owned by a private equity firm called Apollo Global Management. They purchased the company in November of 2012 for $2.5 billion. Apollo Global Management firm was founded in 1990, and one of the co-founders was an investor named Leon Black, who served as the CEO up until
00:00:57 - 00:01:57
\2021. And during the 8-year window that Apollo owned this textbook publishing company, Leon Black transferred enormous amounts of money to Jeffrey Epstein. In a review conducted by Debt, it was revealed that he paid Jeffrey Epstein a total of $158 million between 2012 and 2017.

That’s a lot of money. And that was the same time span when Jeffrey Epstein was doing horrible things on his island. Now, we have no idea if Leon Black is guilty of anything, but this is a man who has been accused of doing some
00:01:27 - 00:02:21
pretty nasty things. Between 2021 and 2023, several civil lawsuits were filed against Leon Black by women claiming he assaulted them. Most notably, he was accused of assaulting a 16-year-old girl at Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse. Every single one of these lawsuits were either dismissed with prejudice or involve private settlements, meaning it hasn’t been confirmed whether or not he’s innocent. So the textbooks you read in school weren’t only there for your education. They were also there to generate
00:01:54 - 00:02:53
hundreds of millions of dollars for billionaires who support sex offenders like Jeffrey Epstein. And if you thought the Mcra Hill connection ends there, you are in for a surprise because the history of Mcra Hill goes a lot deeper and a lot darker. You see, McGraill had a very deep connection with a man named Robert Maxwell aka the father of Gileain Maxwell. In case you live under a rock, Gileain Maxwell was the romantic partner to Jeffrey Epstein, and she was heavily involved with the trafficking of minors

00:02:24 - 00:03:14
and transporting minors for illegal acts. There’s plenty of evidence that suggests that Gileain was even more abusive and [music] sadistic than Jeffrey Epstein. So, let’s talk about her father. Robert Maxwell was a British entrepreneur who accumulated a lot of wealth during the 20th century, and he owned a textbook company called McMillan, which published school textbooks for children. If you went to school in the UK, there’s a good chance that you’ve come across one of these books. In 1990, Robert Maxwell merged
00:02:49 - 00:03:36
this company with the Mcrowill Book Company. They combined their elementary and secondary school textbook operations into a joint venture called the McMillan McGraw Hill School Publishing Company. This joint venture was huge. In fact, there’s a pretty good chance that you’ve come across a book published by this joint venture. If you recognize any of the books I’m showing on screen right now, then yeah, you’ve seen these books [music] before. Now, let’s talk about this man’s career, because he’s done
00:03:13 - 00:04:07
some pretty messed up things. Throughout his career, Robert Maxwell frequently used fraud and legal intimidation to increase his wealth. And worst of all, to resolve massive amounts of debt, he stole hundreds of millions of dollars from his own employees retirement funds. Over 32,000 of his workers got their life savings stolen from him. Now, this isn’t to say that the McRawill books themselves are bad, but it should really make you question just how much we should trust the education system. The
00:03:40 - 00:04:35
books we give to children aren’t as innocent and wholesome as we believe. These are books propelled by a man who stole hundreds of millions of dollars from innocent people and the father of one of the most evil predators of our time. But Robert Maxwell didn’t do nearly as much damage as this next person who was also closely connected with Jeffrey Epstein. Have you ever wondered who are the people responsible for the constant standardized testing we take in school? Well, as it turns out,
00:04:07 - 00:05:02
one of the people responsible for it is a man whose name appears 440 times in the Epstein files. A man by the name of Joel Klene, who was a close friend to Epstein. In 2002, Joel Klein was appointed the chancellor of the New York City Department of Education, the largest school system in the US with over a million students. He held that position for 8 years. During that time, he heavily pushed standardized testing onto New York’s school system. He also used standardized test scores to punish
00:04:35 - 00:05:26
teachers and principles, which led to a very long conflict between the United Federation of Teachers, who criticized him for relying on tests too much. Of course, his role was isolated to only the New York school system. But his work influenced politicians and education leaders across the country who sought to replicate the model he used in New York in their own cities and states. His standardized testing philosophy also spread through his associates who held very high positions of power in school
00:05:01 - 00:05:58
districts across the country. It was estimated that more than 5% of all public school students in the US were enrolled in districts led by Joel Klein or his associates. With all that considered, he might be one of the most influential figures of American education in the 2000s. Now, let’s get to the good stuff. Epstein’s private schedules show that he and Joel Klein had several personal meetings together. They had a meeting on September 6th, 2013 at Epstein’s Manhattan Townhouse, a lunch on September 20th, 2013. They had
00:05:29 - 00:06:33
a breakfast together on Friday, May 24th. Joel Klein was even invited to a dinner birthday party for Woody Allen hosted on December 5th, 2013 by Epstein. As you can see, these aren’t serious business meetings. They’re casual and informal, revealing that these two men were very close friends. And what makes this even worse is that these meetings all happened after 2008, the year Epstein was convicted and sent to jail for soliciting a minor. So Joel Klein knew that Jeffrey Epstein was a convicted PDF file and he still
00:06:01 - 00:07:00
continued a friendship with him. This is the man behind the test you took in school. And speaking of standardized test, we got to talk about the Common Core standards, the education reform that ruined K through 12 education. Common Core is another reason why we had content standardized testing in class. It also enforced extremely confusing and nonsensical math teaching methods. So, let’s talk about the man behind the Common Core, the guy who made it possible in the first place, Bill Gates. He poured $200 million into the
00:06:31 - 00:07:28
creation, promotion, and the implementation of Common Core. It was an aggressive and rapid campaign, and he did it without the approval of the American public. Without anybody’s approval, Bill Gates single-handedly funded a movement that ruined our school system. Now, why do I bring this up? Because there is significant evidence that Bill Gates was connected to Jeffrey Epstein. He met up with Epstein 30 times between 2011 and 2014. After Epstein’s conviction with a minor and even worse,
00:06:59 - 00:07:57
according to Jeffrey Epstein himself, Bill Gates caught an STD from Russian girls and desperately asked Epstein to provide him an antibiotic to give his wife. So, here we go again. Bill Gates, one of the most influential figures in American education, had a close relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Next, let’s talk about an aspect of education that almost every American student went through in the 2010s. If you went to an American school during this time, you most likely used a tool called Edodto. For those who don’t know,
00:07:28 - 00:08:28
Edoto was a website used in class for assignments and stuff. It’s kind of like Google Classroom and Canvas, and it was a pretty big deal. At its peak, it had over 100 million users before getting shut down in 2022. Well, one of the leaders of this project was Reed Hoffman. Most people know him as the founder of LinkedIn, but he also took a very large role in the success of Ed Moto, serving on his board of directors and investing $15 million into it. Now, guess what? There’s undeniable evidence
00:07:58 - 00:09:00
that this guy visited Little St. James Island, aka Epstein’s Island. Elon Musk even publicly stated that Hoffman went to the eyelid multiple times. Reed Hoffman had an extensive relationship with Epstein. He even took part in rehabilitating Jeffrey Epstein’s reputation after his 2008 conviction with a minor. So yeah, this is the guy behind Edoto, the education tool that the entire American school system was using. Now, so far we’ve only been talking about K through2 education, but Jeffrey Absin actually had a much larger
00:08:29 - 00:09:25
and more direct connection with America’s university system. And we’re not just talking about regular universities. No, even Ivy League schools took part in this. The universities that millions of students from across the world dream of attending one day. schools like Harvard, MIT, Colombia, schools that are widely respected around the world and by students who put their blood, sweat, and tears into studying and cramming to get accepted by these schools. These are schools who are run by people who are
00:08:57 - 00:09:51
deeply connected to Jeffrey Epstein and directly supported him. In the next few minutes, I might just change how you view these universities. In 2008, Jeffrey Epstein was charged for soliciting a minor. And this information quickly went public and was available to anyone online. You would think that this would absolutely obliterate a person’s reputation and personal image, right? I mean, look at what happened to EDP445. What Epstein did was far worse than what EDP did. But Epstein went straight back
00:09:24 - 00:10:16
to business and nobody questioned him, as if nothing even happened at all. So, how was Epstein able to accomplish this instant public image rehabilitation? Well, it was largely because of what American universities did to support him. Jeffrey Epstein had been a longtime donor to universities across the country. In exchange, these universities pretty much glazed the hell out of him. The school most notorious for this is Harvard. Following his 2008 conviction, there was a page on the official Harvard
00:09:50 - 00:10:48
website that posted links to external sites that contain flattering descriptions of Jeffrey Epstein portraying him as a hero. The purpose of these websites was to manipulate search engine algorithms to bury his crimes under a mountain of Harvard endorsed academic glazing. Epstein was also given his own private office on the Harvard campus along with an elevator key card allowing unlimited access. While registered as a sex offender, Epstein visited this Harvard office over 40 times to meet with scholars, turning the
00:10:19 - 00:11:18
university into his own personal networking club. All of this portrayed him as an accepted member of the Ivy League world. Epstein was also very close with Larry Summers, the former president of Harvard and one of the most famous figures in American education. When the Epstein files were leaked in 2025, they showed that Larry Summers and Epstein were extremely close friends. They traded emails constantly. Larry Summers even asked Epstein for advice on how to date a female student he was teaching, using Epstein as his
00:10:48 - 00:11:51
quote unquote wingman. By allowing Epstein to associate himself with Harvard and its members, the university was basically helping restore his reputation after what he did to that minor. The same thing happened between Epstein and MIT. Epste visited MIT nine times between 2013 and 2017 directly engaging with the faculty there. Most notably, he had a very close relationship with the director of the MIT Media Lab at the time, Joy Itto, which by the way is one of the most prestigious roles in all of
00:11:20 - 00:12:21
American education. Epstein described Joy Itto as quote unquote one of us. A phrase Epstein frequently used for trusted members of his inner circle. Joy Itto also went to Epstein’s island multiple times. Even after his conviction, MIT continued to accept large donations of money from Epstein. And because the staff at MIT knew that Epstein was a convicted criminal, they went to great lengths to hide the money that they received from him. In their systems, they secretly labeled his money as anonymous. The
00:11:51 - 00:12:52
staff were so scared of his name leaking that they started to call him Voldemort. In 2012, the president of MIT even sent a thank you letter to Epstein for his donations. And again, by allowing Epstein to associate himself with such a prestigious university, the leaders at MIT were helping restore his reputation after his incident. And the list of universities that Epstein donated to goes on and on. He donated to Ohio State University, Colombia, University of Arizona, Stanford, University of British
00:12:21 - 00:13:17
Columbia, UCLA, Bard College, Penn State. [music] If you’ve gone to college, then try searching up your own school. There’s a good chance that Epstein donated to your school or the faculty from your school as well. Now, you got to remember when a person donates money to a university, it’s not just, hey, here’s $100,000. Okay, bye. Philanthropy is a complicated process that works like a collaboration where both parties work together to accomplish something and both parties benefit and it receive something in
00:12:50 - 00:13:46
exchange. So by accepting these donations from Epstein, these universities were agreeing to work with him and agreeing to contribute to his image by allowing him to be portrayed as a philanthropist. But his reputation wasn’t the only reason why he was so connected with these universities. The next reason is far more disturbing. As you may already know, Epstein was a predator. He loved young girls, and what better way to obtain young girls than through universities. In January of 2026, the US
00:13:18 - 00:14:17
House Committee on the Judiciary demanded accountability from NYU and Colombia and revealed that these universities made it easy for Jeffrey Epstein to obtain victims. Because of his donations, these universities gave Epstein a lot of influence and control. And this involves influence over college admissions and whether or not a student gets accepted. With his power, Epstein promised young girls and even minors that he would secure their admission into top tier universities and even pay their tuition. in exchange for you know
00:13:47 - 00:14:49
what. Between 2000 and 2002, Epstein paid for a girl to attend NYU, even arranging a scholarship for her. Another girl reported that while she was still in high school in 2004, Epstein repeatedly promised to get her admitted to NYU and pay her tuition. She also paid a girl to attend Columbia University between 2004 and 2007. These girls got abused and assaulted by Epstein and his associates. By doing this, not only was he luring these girls into his scheme, but because he was providing for their education and their
00:14:19 - 00:15:20
career, these girls became dependent on him, making it hard for them to report his crimes or escape. And it doesn’t stop there. He paid 116,000 for a Russian girl to attend new school. And the most documented case of them all was a girl named Reena O, who was 21 when she met Epstein. Epstein promised her a scholarship to New York School of Visual Arts. She accepted and Epstein would use his tuition promise to control her. He
00:14:49 - 00:15:58
was only able to do this because of his power within the school system. >> Then he continued on um to dictate what school he wanted me to enroll in. He said, “You’re going to go to school of visual arts.” Whatever directions he gave me, I I followed through and um without asking any questions. Then within like a week or two, I I was taking classes. [music] >> Epstein even used people in these colleges to recruit people for him. In an interview with The Guardian, Reena O
00:15:24 - 00:16:16
said he definitely wanted access to young girls. High schoolers bring other high schoolers and college girls bring other college girls. And there’s solid evidence of this in the federal indictment filed by the Southern District of New York. Epstein paid his victims hundreds of dollars in cash for each encounter. Moreover, Epstein actively encouraged certain of his victims to recruit additional girls to be similarly abused. Epstein incentivized his victims to become recruiters by paying these victim
00:15:50 - 00:16:48
recruiters hundreds of dollars for each girl that they brought to Epstein. [music] In doing so, Epstein maintained a steady supply of new victims to exploit. And we actually have a direct piece of evidence of Epstein doing this at UC Berkeley. Epstein paid the housing costs for a UC Berkeley school of law student in exchange for referrals for girls to serve as quote unquote assistant. When the student recommended a 28-year-old assistant, Jeffrey Epstein was upset because it didn’t meet his requirements.
00:16:18 - 00:17:18
The student replied, “Okay, no more over 24. Sorry about that.” And I got to say that again, none of this would have been possible if Jeffrey Epstein wasn’t so well connected with these universities. It was only because of Epstein’s reputation as a philanthropist and his influence over the school system that he was able to carry out these schemes. The same universities that we look up to as a society are the ones that enable these horrible things to be carried out. Now, I want to take a step back here
00:16:49 - 00:17:43
because so far we’ve been covering this story one topic at a time. We covered Mcrawill standardized tests at Modto universities and their connections. But I want you to see the bigger picture here. Isn’t it kind of strange just how deeply Epstein was connected to the world of education? Epstein had ties with almost every single facet of American education. If you look at a list of the closest people to Epstein, you’ll find that a very large portion of these people are leaders of major
00:17:16 - 00:18:20
aspects in our school system. [music] Leon Black, Joel Klene, Reed Hoffman, Larry Summers, Troyto, Bill Gates. Education is powerful. It’s the biggest determining factor of a society’s future. and worldview. Education shapes how a nation thinks and behaves and acts. But look at the people who are in charge of the system. Greedy, wealthy elites who supported and potentially even took part in disgusting acts with Jeffrey Epstein, the most evil predator in modern history. Despite the enormous
00:17:48 - 00:18:51
amounts of evidence that we have, there’s something going on here that we still don’t have a full picture on. We still aren’t fully aware of the full extent of Absene’s influence on American education. Which brings up a question. How much of your learning was influenced by people connected to Epstein? And how much of your worldview was shaped by evil people? That was a very dark topic. And I just want to say thank you for watching the whole way through because this is a very important information that I think more
00:18:20 - 00:18:31
people should know about. So yeah, thank you for watching and I wish you a good
