LifeWise is the newest weapon in the arsenal of Christian Nationalists & Evangelical extremists for their war against public education. This program is tearing down the wall of separation by using public schools to target captive audiences of elementary students as they indoctrinate & convert the next generation to a Christian Worldview. We’ll cover the history & legal nuances of RTRI and explain the franchise model & national aspirations that set LifeWise apart. See how they continually cross established lines and intentionally push the boundaries of what is legally permissible as we shed light on their legislative goals, political ideologies & organizations behind this movement. We also demonstrate the real world effects on students. Release Time for Religious Instruction has been around since 1952. Since 2016 Lifewise Academy has been using this loophole to push an agenda of Christian Nationalism and Evangelical extremism in their war against public education. Join us during this workshop to learn about what this program is doing to schools and what the future of this agenda has for the public education.
