The Religious Right's Plot To Take Control Of Our Public SchoolsDoor Rachal Tabachnick, Alternet, 6 maart 2012
The people who brought you "Jesus Camp" are moving into your neighborhood school. And there's not a damn thing you can do about it.
[...] The Good News Club: The Christian Right's Stealth Assault on America’s Children by Katherine Stewart [zie hieronder; K] uncovers a right-wing conspiracy to infiltrate and destroy the nation’s public school system, using recent Supreme Court decisions as a lever. It’s a must-read for anyone who’s seen public school kids, perhaps their own, targeted for proselytizing by peers, teachers and adult volunteers. And for those who haven’t, it’s a wake-up call.

Why Sexual Fundamentalists Dominate Politics and How We Can Stop Them
Door Mandy van Deven, Alternet, 26 september 2012
The author of Delirium: The Politics of Sex in America [de historicus en politiek commentator Nancy Cohen; K] says the extreme right-wing is less popular yet more powerful than we imagine.
[...] 'The sexual fundamentalists[*] began as a grassroots movement on issues like blocking the Equal Rights Amendment. They have been savvy political organizers for a long time and always identified electoral politics as a key battleground. Starting in the 1970s, they basically infiltrated the GOP at the local precinct and school board levels. Gradually, they built their power to the point where they controlled many state Republican parties, and we saw the culmination of their takeover of the GOP in the 2010 elections. The Tea Party was largely a rebranding of the discredited Christian Right; it wasn’t what it portrayed itself to be, and the media cooperated in this inaccurate portrayal.'

[*] Peter Sloterdijk wijst er in zijn Sferen-trilogie (pagina 259 van de Nederlandse editie van Sferen, Boom 2007/2003) op dat de vlaggenculten zijn afgeleid van het Oud-Egyptische gebruik om de placenta van de farao tijdens processies ter ere van de heerser mee te dragen. Sloterdijk maakt veel werk van het belichten van de in onze cultuur verdrongen psychodynamische betekenis van de moederkoek. Betreffende de opkomst van de Tea Party en religieus extreemrechts in de VS is ook interessant wat Sloterdijk in een noot hierbij laat weten: 'In het licht van deze cultuurhistorische context is het bijzonder pikant wat Harold Bloom in zijn studie over de meest recente nationale theosofie, het zogenaamde American Orphism opmerkt, namelijk dat dit in de vlag en in de foetus zijn centrale symbolen bezit. Zie Harald Bloom, The American Religion. The Emergence of the Post-Christian Nation, New York 1992, pagina 45; 'The flag and the fetus together symbolize the American Religion, the partly concealed but scarcely repressed national faith.'
