What if current divisions in America rest, in part, on a fundamental divergence in the understanding of our history? The book proposes the three most prominent Christian curricula have played a role through the historical narrative promoted for almost fifty years, becoming more widespread in different forms of alternative schooling from Christian schools to voucher programs, and homeschooling. Their narrative has been significant in defining Americans' understanding of the world and its history and exposes the efficacy of the alliance between certain religious interests, conservative legislators and school boards, and various corporate interests in reshaping education in the United States. The campaign for a "Christian right history" is analogous to the successful advocacy for "intelligent design" in public school science curricula. Many conservative institutions support both the inclusion of politically conservative and Christian content into school curricula"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Church and education $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Christian education $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Christianity and politics $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Church and state $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Curriculum evaluation $z United States. 941 $a 1 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20211217010815.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2728AE085F0711ECA70E6FDD2BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
