According to one study, from 1920-1960 about 70% of high schools omitted evolution from their textbooks. While ultimately unsuccessful, Christian Fundamentalists of the early 20th century led the crusade against evolution, and after public disgrace and a name change, the evangelicals in America have leveraged their influence to change the course of our country and the world. In this episode we track the Christian Right's impact on education policy and norms in America.

The Christian Right is a powerful political force that for decades had but two focuses: marriage protection and abortion.

It's no question that the left-right political spectrum has grown increasingly divided over time. Have you ever wondered what exactly differentiates you and the person next to you? For example, what are the distinctions between a Trump supporter and a non-supporter? Hochschild's concept of “empathy walls” allows us to explore our own limitations when it comes to understanding the beliefs and actions of another individual. When we actively do our part in “breaking down” these walls, there is room for growth and understanding. Show Notes/Resources Hochschild, Arlie R. Strangers in Their Own Land. The New Press, 2016.

With the holidays fast approaching, many of us are on the edge of our seat, nervously awaiting uncertain family dinner conversations about the (finally) concluded election season and the state of American politics. It's easy to fall into the mindset of digging your heels in and resisting ideologically aloof relatives' influence.

This podcast will focus on the political climate of the year of 1964, specifically in regards to the presidential race between Lyndon B. Johnson and Barry Goldwater.

Abortion, Planned Parenthood, and Gay Marriage are the apparent holy trinity of the Christian Right in America. In this podcast, I posit that the cross Evangelicals have historically been willing to die on has very little to do with these three issues. Social and political changes in the education curriculum and the financial structure of religious educational institutions were extremely formative in the creation of today's Christian right. I explore the historical examples of this impact on and from education and how evangelical politics came to be what we recognize it as today.
