I don’t know how many of you know about the Wedge Document from the Discovery Institute. While vouchers (aka “school choice”) are not mentioned in particular, they fit in well with the general intention to remake public education into an arm of the Christian Right.

While the Wedge strategy is aimed particularly at science education, the end result has been an overall attack on anything the Christian Right deems “un-godly.” The whole David Barton-style revisionism of history is just one example.

I’ve heard of that.

Excellent comment. The whole thing, not just the part I quoted.
