I spent ten+ years in a private Christian school in the US. We had special Christian-version science textbooks, daily Bible class along with all the regular staple courses, etc.

My take is that the conservative right has been taken over by an extreme religious element that has actively withdrawn from engaging with education, science, and non-religiously-affiliated institutions. Everything is extremely filtered and anything mainstream is to be avoided at all costs. So where are people from other ideologies supposed to come from if they're brought up to withdraw to their own parallel no-differing-views world?
