A VERY scary read that outright illustrates the true goal of the conservatives.
samples:
"Michael Farris founded HSLDA in 1983 as a way to ensure that homeschooling was legal, but what hes been striving for is the wild west. His organization is trying to keep homeschooling away from any interference so the children he trains through his sister organization, Generation Joshua, would be able to fly under the radar. Generation Joshua started in 2003, primarily catering to children homeschooled by extremely religious rightwing adults. Its purpose was to train us to fight in what the Christofascists have been calling the Culture Wars. Its a loose and ambiguous term that basically means anything or anyone that doesnt align with this very specific view of Christianity must not be allowed to continue."
"When we showed up to city council, local political party meetings and tours of the Capitol we asked intelligent questions, were respectful and had a vested interest in how our local political machine ran. We impressed every government official and staff member with our questions, earnesty and demeanor. In short, we were sneaky and polite Trojan horses; we had an agenda. Yes, even as 15-year-olds. It was forcefully handed to us by the adults in our lives who had been preparing for this since before we were born."

Never underestimate the fragility of our rights and freedoms. Never underestimate the patience and perseverance of brainwashed generations devoted to a mythical cause they don't believe they need to prove either to themselves or anyone else. They are brainwashed to accept a predetermined absolute and relax into a blind faith that requires their mental energy to be devoted to the singular cause of their myth, not to validate it nor to question the means by which they achieve it. The ends always justify their means.
Be awake.
