You may have heard the term "Christian nationalism" and have questions about what that means. This essay from @MatthewBoedy lays it out and shows exactly how Christian extremists are rolling it out in schools.

Turning Point USA on Saturday kicked off its annual Student Action Summit in Tampa where a series of speakers and breakout sessions will try to activate and train attendees to play “offense with a sense of urgency to win America’s culture war.” Hundreds of high school and college students will hobnob among Fox News and Trump administration celebrities and take back home the misinformation and mission of the organization.

The most recent exigency for the group has been the debate over critical race theory that has consumed local school board meetings. And Turning Point plans more for that issue. Recently on its career website, TPUSA posted an ad looking for someone to run its “School Board Liberty Project” which will be “dedicated to researching and exposing school boards nationwide that are adopting radical Leftist policies and curriculum.” That project will run parallel to its other new educational venture, Turning Point Academy, which “will develop and distribute K-12 curricula focused on American history, our founding principles, the Constitution, and economics.”

These two expansions will remake the nine-year-old political non-profit nominally dedicated to free markets and limited government into a Christian Nationalism educational arm befitting its newly converted Christian nationalist leader. In short, Turning Point’s new aim is to reclaim from the left all levels of education and define education as a Christian nationalist dominion. Kirk sells this expansion and redefinition by saying what happens on campuses eventually reaches the halls of Congress. Kirk made the remaking of Turning Point clear in a July 6th tweet that said among other “pro-America curriculum” goals, the Bible should be taught more in schools.

The Christian Nationalism influences on Kirk have also impacted Turning Point. In May I wrote about some of the religious influences on Kirk and Turning Point. In this article, I want to dive into the educational influences.
