The White Christian Nationalist Network That Is Trying To Dominate Public Education

In my last post, Critical Thinking Citizens Or MAGA Loyalists?, I compared Russia’s school program of direct propaganda in trying to create support for their war on Ukraine and loyalists to Putin to the push in the United States for “patriotic education” in the nation’s schools.
In that prior post, I argued that “patriotic education” runs counter to the real purpose of having an educated citizenry. Citizens in a democracy need critical thinking abilities and the ability to question myths of US history and discern true information from misinformation.
This post will go into much more detail about this effort in the United States, which is clearly a white Christian nationalist project. My own experience teaching in private Christian schools allows me to understand what is at stake and the goals of this movement. I’ll explain the who, what, and how of this propagandistic, false-education movement.
Public Schools Are Ground Zero In The Culture Wars
I believe the public school system is ground zero in the tug-of-war over our culture. White Christian nationalists are no longer content to have the freedom to open their own private Christian schools and teach whatever amount of myth and misinformation they want. Because of the Seven Mountain Mandate, these folks believe God calls them to take control over all institutions of society, especially public schools.
I know exactly where this is headed.”
