Some claim "Christian nationalism" is just "loving Jesus" & "being patriotic."

Lots of social scientific evidence shows the "Christianity" of Christian nationalism is much more than that.

In fact, it brings with it 5 pieces of cultural baggage.

Five Elements of Christian Nationalism
Christian nationalism envisions a very particular nation: one that is ordered in such a way that only a certain group remains at the top and in charge while others have limited access to the levers of...

Teens calling Idaho's suicide hotline are being told they can't proceed with the conversation without parental consent. Many of the callers are then hanging up.

Idaho approved a strict parental consent law last year.

homeschooled alumni have been saying this, and it's bad

Yeah, honestly: “parental rights” are starting to sound more like “property rights.”

Been in the homeschool reform movement for seven years, was a homeschooled kid for much longer. I can tell you that this smugness is baked into homeschool culture.

Far too often, parents who homeschool are more obsessed about controlling their child than they are about actually caring for them.

homeschoolers smugmuggin their own outcomes, wild stuff
"you're a homeschool mom who has a 4 yo that doesn't know all her letters/numbers + and 8 yo who isn't reading chapter books. and that's ok."

This kind of travesty is made possible through extremely lax homeschool laws, which allow abuse parents like these to disappear their kids and cut off their access to any official or professional who could spot a problem and intervene.

Mississippi 48th overall for child well-being. I think they should be worried about other things.

Dobson is probably responsible for much of the child abuse in the Southern Baptist ecosystem. Good riddance.

James Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family and one of the most influential voices in the conservative evangelical movement, has died at age 89

This is unfortunately way too common in the psych/mental health space 😫 APA accredited graduate programs are super competitive but they’re the only trustworthy programs imo

Same. I was telling my partner earlier how I feel so helpless seeing other girls go through what I went through and not being able to do anything. It’s so upsetting.

I just found out about the Covenant Matches dating site. It’s a Christian nationalist dating app where the PARENTS sign up for their kids. Absolutely horrifying…
The Triune God
We confess one God eternally existing in three persons:
Father, Son (Jesus Christ), and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19; 2
Corinthians 13:14).
2. Biblical Marriage
We affirm that marriage is a sacred covenant ordained by God, exclusively between one man and one woman (Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:4-6). We believe God created humanity male and female (Genesis 1:27).
3. Salvation in Christ Alone
We hold that salvation comes only through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ (Acts 4:12; Ephesians 2:8-9).
4. Parental Authority in Matchmaking
We honor the biblical model of families guiding courtship (Genesis 24; 1 Corinthians 7:38). Parents are entrusted to seek God-honoring matches for their children.
5. Purity & Holiness
We expect participants to pursue sexual purity before marriage (1 Thessalonians 4:3-5) and reject fornication, adultery, or any immoral relationships (Hebrews 13:4).
6. Final Authority of Scripture
All matches must be biblically aligned, rejecting any unequally yolked parnerthip (2 Corinthians 6:14). We stand on the inerrant Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16-17).

the US profoundly needs a children's rights movement. children are not property... they deserve opportunity and learning and autonomy and security.... and our country just does not acknowledge this

But the parents are so lost they don’t even realize that it’s not the classes that changed your kid, it was separation from YOU. No gender studies, sociology, or history class could ever accomplish what three months of not having to live with your bullies will do.

This is wonderful! I’ve thought about potentially doing this after school. How do the kids settle into your house? Is it awkward at first or do you immediately feel connected to the kids?
