I fear linking the article and its source may bias the context and answers to this question, but here you go.

White Christian Nationalism
She's catastrophizing a whole lot there. A lot of it is silly. The USA isn't repealing the First Amendment. It isn't going to legislate to keep women out of the workforce, and it isn't going to enact some type of Biblical law.

People identifying as religious is on the down swing here. I doubt that changes anytime soon:

The US isn't going to enact Sharia anytime soon, either, but that doesn't stop people from getting their panties in a wad about it.

I think she argues that it's been a decades long, very deliberate effort that sort of dovetailed into the rise of Trump. Lending their backing helped lift up Trump. It was a calculated risk to throw their chips in with the MAGA wave, but it's definitely paid off. I don't think you give Evangelicals enough credit for the power and influence they have in some political circles. No Republican president has won without their buy in and support since Nixon, maybe before.
I don’t disagree with your point about Evangelicals and Trump. But I don’t think they are hooked up in series. They are hooked up in parallel.

Will you admit how something like Sharia is actually implemented? Along that line, how would you suggest that America prevents it's implementation.
I'll give you a few minutes yo ruin your own comment.
 
That’s a fair argument. But I don’t think it applies. Islam and socialism enjoy a measure of objectivity from many. Christian Nationalism doesn’t benefit from that. This thread proves the point.
One thread of comments on a sports message board proves that no one can possibly be objective about Christian Nationalism unless they are, themselves, Christian Nationalists?

Sharia is much much more than religion.
Hopelessly contradicting yourself.
 
Let's breakdown some other phrases in the same way:

Black Lives Matter

People's Republic of China

Russian National Union

Democratic Party

Inflation Reduction Act . . .

We need more of all of these, too?
Actual organizations, countries or laws with track records to be examined.

WCN is open to interpretation.
 
I read an article about White Christian Nationalism and I’m curious what the overwhelming view of it is on this board. So I’m using a simple pole to gauge your opinion but feel free to add comments of why you do or don’t support WCN.
Eppy looks like there’s a documentary on this on prime called god & country.

This documentary is right on point. The ideal america is a white america. Trump is the farthest thing from Christian values yet secured 81 percent of the Christian vote. Trump plays on racist tropes and it’s most certainly in furtherance of racist beliefs.

Results matter.
Education management is a failed concept as far as State/Federal involvement is concerned.

The ignorance of American students should embarrass every citizen

Nothing but downhill after the creation of the DOE...
I love our parochial school. I wouldn't be against finding a marginal solution whereby the school could add more students. They have capacity, but there aren't enough families willing/able to pay the tuition.

The school has the highest test scores in the county. I think there are 6-8 students/class. 18-25/ class in public. The teachers at the parochial (generally speaking) are there until a higher paying public job opens up.

I would add that if a student has a behavioral issue or learning disability, they are sent to a public school where there are resources for both. That might help explain the test scores.

Also, the DoE was created in 1979. It just so happens that the decline of the middle-class can be traced back to that time. In fact, 1979 happens to be the year manufacturing jobs peaked nominally.

I would guess that a parents' pay has a greater correlation to student performance than any other factor. I could be wrong but it's got to be up there.

Producing worse outcomes/dollar, so we should stop spending dollars, isn't a logical argument, imo. There are too many other factors. Life has taught me that money can't solve every problem, but the lack thereof is never a positive. You’re not going to send the kids on 2nd street to our parochial and maintain those test scores. To make large changes-and let's call it what it is- is just an excuse to shift public funds to a preferred sect/constituency.

Also, ADHD, ODD, ADD, have probably always been around, and are only higher now, because we're more aware/test for those more. Autism, on the other hand, is legitimately growing. That too plays a small role.
