She is also now forever dubbed "Hitler lady" in my mind, and I think it would just be a crying shame if that label were to gain wider currency and stick, or maybe even trend as a hashtag.
#HitlerLady - make it trend if you think @Miller_Congress should resign over her remarks.

But back to that sterling Christian nationalist pedigree @Miller_Congress brings to the House of Reps.
She and her husband attend a Christian Church (the denomination). He's an elder. She included her Sunday school and Vacation Bible school teaching on her campaign website.

Miller is, or at least at some point was, affiliated with an organization called Illinois Christian Home Educators, on whose website she and her husband are identified as "saved by grace" and "born again"

And yes, I just now entered this page in the @internetarchive's Wayback Machine, you know, just in case
Our lack of homeschooling regulation, which allows racist and Christian nationalist indoctrination as well as physical and sexual abuse to proliferate under the aegis of homeschooling, is one of the key issues @AmericanAtheist's 2020 State of the Secular States report addresses.
Importantly, Birchers and theocrats affiliated with the Council for National Policy have moved to exploit pandemic conditions for recruitment and radicalization via homeschooling, as @herong and I both documented last year:

But homeschooling is not the only way that Christian extremists target youth. They work to undermine public schools through voucher programs, as well as to infiltrate public schools. And of course they promote harmful anti-LGBTQ legislation and conversion therapy.
Conversion therapy is something that, by the way, frequently happens in the corrupt, abusive, and often explicitly right-wing Christian "troubled teen" industry, as @DJSugi explains. Please follow her and support her work: https://www.damemagazine.com/2020/12/17/conversion-therapy-is-abuse/
. @AmericanAtheist's State of the Secular States report contains much more, and I encourage you to read it if you want to be ready to fight the Christian Right in 2021.
I probably don't have to convince you of this after yesterday, but they are not going to just go away

As for me, while I do get paid for my written work, those fees alone do not pay the bills. I must stress that I could not do the work that I do without the support of readers like you.
