Exodus Mandate Project
Definition
- Since the 1970s, a number of conservative Christian leaders and advocacy groups, sometimes dubbed the Religious Right, have been involved in the public school battlefield of the larger “Culture Wars.” Organizations such as Focus on the Family (1977) and Concerned Women for America (1979), for example, have attempted to reform the public schools by combating “secular humanism” and/or reintroducing Christian practices and perspectives. Since the late 1990s, however, several organizations of a Christian persuasion have eschewed efforts to “reclaim” public education and have urged Christian parents to remove their children from government schools.
