Jerry Falwell
1966-01-01 Jerry Falwell founded the whites-only Lynchburg Christian Academy to circumvent the 1954 ruling to ban segregation. He wrote in his book ‘America Can Be Saved’, “I hope I live to see the day when, as in the early days of our country, we won’t have any public schools. The churches will have taken them over again and Christians will be running them”. In 1977 courts ruled that segregated private religious schools could not qualify as charitable organizations or retain tax exempt status.

PragerU
2022-01-01 PragerU announced plans to take advantage of the youth media landscape and go “toe-to-toe” with PBS and Disney. Their websites and resources are inundated with conservative propaganda that they intend to indoctrinate everyone’s children with.
2025-08-08 News outlets reported how the heavily right-leaning PragerU plans to completely replace PBS in children’s education, alter truths and peddle biased content. For context, the CEO stated that teachers have been teaching Marxism.

2024-06-03 The Trump administration issued very specific parameters for which bibles would be allowed in schools . As Oklahoma State sought bids for their school bibles, they found only the Trump bible met mandated criteria. After backlash due to the high cost of Trump bibles compared to the $4 versions schools could afford, an amendment was considered.

2025-04-29 Religious charter schools in Oklahoma requested taxpayer money grants to fund their schools, draining funds that should go to public education.
Ten Commandments
2025-05-21 Senate Bill SB10 was introduced, requiring the Ten Commandments in classrooms. State Representative James Talrico sparred with Noble and ended the debate by stating “forcing religion down throats is not love”.
2026-03-16 US District Judge Timothy Brooks ruled that an Arkansas law requiring the Ten Commandments be placed in schools violates both the Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause of the Constitution. Judge Brooks wrote, “Act 573’s purpose is only to display a sacred religious text in a prominent place in every public school classroom, and the only reason to display a sacred religious text in every classroom is to proselytize to children”.
Proselytize: to induce someone to convert to a different faith, religion, or cause. This practice is often considered distinct from, and more aggressive than, evangelism, which is generally viewed as sharing faith without pressure.
FYI: Basic values of human decency can also be found in the non-denominational core “Golden Rules” taught in schools. If teaching core values required religious preference (which it shouldn’t), then educational systems would also consider the “Five Precepts” of Buddhism, the “Yamas” and “Niyamas” of Hinduism, and an array of other ethical concepts found in the multitude of religions practiced worldwide.

TPUSA Indoctrination
2026-03-12 During a rally in Arkansas to integrate “Club America” in schools, Erika Kirk stated, “…just like you and other governors who have been bold enough to stand alongside us to make sure that Charlie’s dream of having a club America on every single high school campus….someone throws all of your resources on the ground, count it all joy. You are being persecuted because you believe in Jesus Christ. Count it all joy….Don’t let anyone disenfranchise you because you’re a young man, especially a young white male man. Don’t ever let anyone talk down to you. We need strong men out there. ….God has created you for a purpose and a reason far greater than you and I will ever know on this side of heaven. But just know that as long as you’re a part of Turning Point USA, you have us by your side, and we will be there for you every step of the way. And just like this governor and many others that are out there, we got your back, always”.
