Katherine Stewart sounds an alarm to the assault on public education by the Christian conservative Right. Their onslaught comes not as a Pearl Harbor sneak attack, but as an intrusion of stealthy snipers picking off the freedoms of our secular democracy a little bit at a time leaving it increasingly unable to defend itself. She warns that the end result could be the death of the public school system altogether and a splintering of education in America into a smorgasbord of ineffective private charters and religious schools. The outcome could leave an abandoned American middle class without access to education. The wealthy will always have educational opportunities and the Christian fundamentalists will take what's left to secure their isolation from progressive secular education. She explores the attack on American secular education by a multitude of Christian Right wing organizations that many times work in concert with legal arms to achieve their goals. The picture she paints is in frightening detail and is insightfuly written. She writes on an issue that is important to all of us. Her book will open your eyes to a cancer that lies close enough to the surface that you will begin to recognize that you seen some of things she addresses without connecting the dots. I highly recommend her book as a call to action for those who wish to see the American experience survive an attack by Christian Nationalists.
