[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, absolutely, there is a connection. Read, Jesus and John Wayne:

Also, https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/god-and-guns/
Studies abound showing the correlation between White Christianity and gun ownership.

Came here to say just this (not a professor). White Christianity has morphed into some of the misogynistic, He-Man mentality. Look at the imagery: Jesus has huge muscles, the manly savior, etc. It's not the Protestant church many of us grew up with. It's homeschooled, extremists touting guns, saving baaabbies, and loving Trump.[/quote]

I agree with your book recommendations, but your knowledge of homeschooling is out of date. With COVID the numbers of secular homeschoolers exploded. And with the combination of ineffective reading instruction and major security issues at schools, many of the secular homeschoolers aren’t sending our kids back.[/quote]

Except a lot of the resources, curriculums, co-ops, etc are still religious.

Sure, but secular materials are available, and now that there’s a bigger market for it, you can expect more to hit the market.  [/quote]

Yup, with CRTCRTCRT and school shootings, we are ever closer to the Koch Brothers dream of eliminating public education.[/quote]
