* The incoming Trump administration plans to appoint Linda McMahon as Education Secretary, despite her being a defendant in a lawsuit alleging she ignored widespread sexual abuse of minors at World Wrestling Entertainment.
* Christian nationalists are planning an "educational insurgency" to create "boot camps" for winning back America, where children will be taught to be unquestioning right-wing soldiers.
* Oklahoma's state superintendent, Ryan Walters, has announced a new public department called the "Office of Religious Liberty and Patriotism" to push the Christian nationalist agenda.
* The Texas state school board has voted to replace traditional reading materials for elementary kids with Bible study, which includes lessons that treat the resurrection of Jesus as historical fact.
* Christian nationalists are using taxpayer-funded programs to lavishly fund religious schools or homeschooling, with the goal of sucking money out of public school systems and replacing them with Christian education.
* This effort is an assault on critical thinking skills and intellectual autonomy, as authoritarians prefer children to exhibit mindless obedience rather than learn to think for themselves.
