Again, Ingersoll explains, that’s a Calvinist idea that was rejuvenated with Christian Reconstructionism in the 1960s, and it became incorporated in homeschooling and used by followers “in ways they might not even recognize.” This ideology is embedded in Johnson’s letter, which scoffs at the prospect…
