The Christian Right’s Stealth Assault on America’s Children

[guno]

In 2009, the Good News Club came to the public elementary school where journalist Katherine Stewart sent her children. The Club, which is sponsored by the Child Evangelism Fellowship, bills itself as an after-school program of “Bible study.” But Stewart soon discovered that the Club’s real mission is to convert children to fundamentalist Christianity and encourage them to proselytize to their “unchurched” peers, all the while promoting the natural but false impression among the children that its activities are endorsed by the school.

Astonished to discover that the U.S. Supreme Court has deemed this—and other forms of religious activity in public schools—legal, Stewart set off on an investigative journey to dozens of cities and towns across the nation to document the impact. In this book she demonstrates that there is more religion in America’s public schools today than there has been for the past 100 years. The movement driving this agenda is stealthy. It is aggressive. It has our children in its sights. And its ultimate aim is to destroy the system of public education as we know it.

Katherine Stewart’s chilling exposé of the well-funded, highly coordinated effort by Christian Nationalists to use public schools to advance a fundamentalist agenda. Published in January 2012.
“Even those well-versed in the religious right’s attempt to Christianize American institutions will likely be shocked by The Good News Club. Katherine Stewart’s book about the fundamentalist assault on public education is lucid, alarming, and very important.” -MICHELLE GOLDBERG, author of Kingdom Coming: The Rise of Christian Nationalism.

Maybe the low information left is unfamiliar with the word "assault" or even "mission" for that matter. Children are under assault when they have no choice....when they have no freedom... but to endure left wing propaganda promoted by the government such as girls being forced into Muslem role playing by wearing burkas or boys forced to listen to sodomite rhetoric that condemns the Boy Scouts for daring to discriminate against pedophiles. A couple of years ago the radical left pretended to be horrified about the unfounded rumor that Marines had mishandled the Koran at Gitmo and now they are horrified that the Bible is used in Bible study. The world is upside down to hate filled left wingers. After school Bible study isn't a mandatory government program. It's about freedom of religion unrestricted by government. Why would a mother send her child to a Bible study program and then complain that he/she is being influenced by fundamentalist Christianity?
