Back in October, I started a podcast for Christians in America who longer recognize or feel welcome in the churches and communities that shaped them.

I cover various topics informed by my experiences as a minister, an academic, and as a history teacher in a public classical charter school.
“I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should ‘make no law respecting an establishment of religion,’…thus building a wall of separation between Church and State.”

Thomas Jefferson, 1802

The conservative “Classical Education” movement responds to a real social problem; neolib funding cuts and lefty righteous criticism abandon civic education and the humanities themselves to conservatives - the majority of whom are not extremists, but are influenced by the purists.
Appearing on a Christian nationalist podcast last night, Pete Hegseth said he's creating a system of "classical Christian schools" to provide recruits for an underground army that will eventually launch an "educational insurgency" across the nation. www.peoplefor.org/rightwingwat...
