This is an entry from Marginalia, a section of my Substack where I share interesting stories published elsewhere (think of it as old-school linkblogging). Most of these are published directly to the web, but I will begin sending weekly digests in the near future. Check out PEP’s About page for details about all categories & learn how to support my work. 25% of net proceeds are donated.


From Lyz Lenz’s latest, “Raising Up an Army for God:”

“Fear is ruling America again. A combination of backlash to the Black Lives Matter Movement and the 1619 Project has once again created a racist panic. There is a new push to homeschool, one tied to this current moment of racial and homophobic panic. The renewed effort to encourage families to flee public schools is finding fertile ground in parents frustrated with school closures, a lack of childcare, and exhausted and burnt-out teachers, women being forced out of the workforce, and parents afraid of gun violence in America. And it will destroy public education. Already the scaffolding is being built—states are seeking to cut school funding, are outlawing CRT and discussions of LGBTQ issues in the classroom.”

Read the rest of the post for a brief summary of the homeschooling movement, and a list of great resources on fundamentalism - including Empty The Pews and other familiar works.

I contextualized the importance of Ingersoll’s work in this recent post:

The Post-Evangelical Post
As white evangelical hegemony ended, white Christian nationalist minority rule began.
White evangelicals in America have been heavily scrutinized—and rightly so—since the 2016 election cycle. Their widespread support of Trump & Trumpism escorted an unqualified, megalomaniacal, corrupt, amoral real estate “magnate” and reality-tv “star” to the White House…

In fall 2020, I recorded a season of interviews about white evangelicalism & Christian nationalism. I'm very proud of it. It feels more relevant today than it was then. You can listen to it here: https://t.co/ATwDd5QMnE
