The Good News Club: The Christian Right’s Stealth Assault on America’s Children — Schoolhouse Wedge

What happens when a public school is treated as an empty room rather than as a civic institution with authority in a child’s mind?Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.Using The Good News Club: The Christian Right’s Stealth Assault on America’s Children by Katherine Stewart as our lens, this episode investigates how the Good News Club, the Child Evangelism Fellowship, and allied Christian Right legal networks use public-school access as part of a broader strategy for religious and political formation.Stewart’s reporting follows the conflict from local schools to national legal organizations, showing how programs presented as voluntary Bible study can operate through litigation, coordinated training, peer recruitment, and the institutional legitimacy of the school itself.The deeper system involves religious liberty, public neutrality, child vulnerability, legal wedge strategies, community division, and the long-term weakening of shared civic education.📺 Watch on YouTube:https://youtu.be/msuzi1jiFK0❤️ Support / Episode Post on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/CrisisinPerception/posts/good-news-club-163662677?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_linkIf these ideas resonate, consider reading the work yourself or borrowing it from your local library.
