An associate professor at the University of Pennsylvania for the Department of Religious Studies took a break from her broader attacks against evangelicals as racists to deliver a screed on their “extreme beliefs” and claimed the push for homeschool education is a covert attempt at segregation and, ultimately, aimed at “dismantling the public education system.”
Dr. Anthea Butler, author of “White Evangelical Racism: The Politics of Morality in America,” recently wrote an op-ed for MSNBC titled “How the conservative Christian right is hijacking homeschooling” in which she took particular aim at actor Kirk Cameron. In her piece, she references his upcoming documentary “The Homeschool Awakening” and called it “another salvo in the ongoing evangelical war against public schools.”
Butler writes , “‘Public education has become public enemy No. 1,’ the actor Kirk Cameron opines in a promotion for ‘The Homeschool Awakening,’ his documentary scheduled to hit theaters in June,” before noting his expressed views that the pandemic offered a unique lens for parents into the curriculum of government-run schools that further justifies homeschooling.
“However, as Cameron’s quote indicates, this latest project of conservative evangelical education is another salvo in the ongoing evangelical war against public schools,” Butler claimed. “It should come as no surprise that evangelicals, fundamentalists and other religious conservatives have fought against public education since the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1954 decision in Brown v. Board of Education .”
“The prospect of integrated schools led to the creation of many ‘segregation academies,’ private schools designed to keep African American children and undesirable immigrant groups away from white children,” she went on. “But there was another, more insidious way to circumvent integration: homeschooling.” Kirk Cameron doc makes push for home-schooling, calls govt.-run schools ‘public enemy number one’ https://t.co/Csp3OJpGrx pic.twitter.com/ELUPCbrG55 — Conservative News (@BIZPACReview) May 2, 2022 Butler ignores Cameron’s position that “we’ve been […]

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
