Slant Scanner
Know what’s inside before you bring it home.
Slant Scanner analyzes the ideological lean, worldview, and content of books, movies, TV shows, games, and curricula — so your family can make informed choices about what you read, watch, and teach.
Free to start — 5 scans a month, no card required.
Every scan shows
What every scan shows
Honest, detailed results — not just a thumbs up or down.
Lean score
A clear conservative/progressive lean score for the work as a whole — with the themes that drive it spelled out, not hidden.
Worldview axes
Where the work sits on four deeper axes: transcendent vs. naturalistic, traditional vs. progressive, communitarian vs. individualist, redemptive vs. tragic.
Content breakdown
Violence, language, sexuality, substances, and spiritual content — rated and explained so you know what’s actually on the page or screen.
Age recommendation
A suggested age band based on both content and thematic maturity, so you can match titles to each of your kids.

Who builds this
Built by a homeschool dad, not a corporation.
I’m Michael — a licensed Professional Engineer in southwest Virginia, and a homeschooling father. My day job is analysis: checking data, spotting what’s been left out, making sure conclusions hold up. Slant Scanner is that same discipline pointed at what my family reads and watches.
