Faith, Fear, and Freedom: Why “Marxism in Schools” Is the Wrong Debate
THE ARROGANT INDEPENDENT
Faith, Fear, and Freedom: Why “Marxism in Schools” Is the Wrong Debate
Some organizations like Hillsdale College and PragerU claim that America’s schools have been “strategically targeted” by Marxists. But is this really happening — or are these groups echoing old Cold War fears?
Our new episode of The Arrogant Independent breaks this down by looking at:
→ The Founders’ true intent — a pluralist nation with no state religion.
→ The Cold War shift — when “under God” and “In God We Trust” were added to rebrand America against “godless communism.”
→ The concealment of racial injustice — how mid-century textbooks downplayed slavery, segregation, and inequality to preserve national pride.
→ Why older-led institutions and “old money” groups resist change today — because honest history feels like an attack on the patriotic identity they were taught.
This isn’t Marxism. It’s a nation finally confronting truths hidden for decades. A confident democracy doesn’t need myths; it needs honesty, courage, and trust in its people.
