Episode 168: The Settler's Manifesto

Today’s episode, “The Settler’s Manifesto,” critically examines the Heritage Foundation's strategy to reshape public education through initiatives like Agenda 47, Project 2025, and The Phoenix Declaration. The author of the source article, Dr. Jaime Hoerricks, argues that these efforts represent a far-right ideological project aimed at dismantling pluralism and critical thought in favor of a Christian nationalist vision. This “settler colonialism turned inward” seeks to impose a singular, exclusionary worldview by controlling curriculum, policing language, and undermining teachers who deviate from conservative orthodoxy. Dr. Hoerricks contends that this agenda, exemplified by the misuse of historical figures like George Washington, employs coercive tactics like funding cuts to enforce ideological conformity and ultimately reshape reality itself.
