“Formation” functions as a sanitized term for religious indoctrination.
Florida’s curriculum shift shows how quickly these frameworks can take hold.
Communities must recognize coded language early to stop its spread.
Sam Osterhout and Andra Watkins open a window into how the Phoenix Declaration smuggles a theocratic worldview through pleasant, familiar vocabulary—turning words like “truth,” “freedom,” and “the good life” into vehicles for a single religious ideology. Once you decode that language, the stakes clarify fast: a public education system where scientific method is replaced with biblical literalism, where civic history is rewritten through a sectarian lens, and where moral autonomy is redefined as submission to someone else’s theology. The danger isn’t just Florida’s adoption of the document—it’s how easy it would be for unsuspecting school boards in other states to nod along, mistaking indoctrination for character-building.
Tune in to this urgent conversation about defending public education, now!
