While the right constantly fear-mongers about stealth shariah, here’s a case of a very real conspiracy to sneak religious doctrine into America’s public schools by disguising it as “academic freedom.”

Not just religious doctrine. They’re applying a RWNJ political template to the whole of history.

Also, a scary amount of effort re-establishing the idea of White Man’s Burden, and a “re-read” of history wherein the acts of Europeans against non-European native societies were always justified.

To me, this shit is scary. It’s like reading textbooks from Victorian England, or Meiji Japan.
