A prediction: At some point in the near future, fundamentalist groups like Answers in Genesis will realize they can reframe their demands to control school curricula in social justice jargon about feeling “excluded” by exposure to ideas that conflict with their dogma, and a depressing number of skittish progressive administrators will absolutely fall for it. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/01/hamline-university-what-to-think-firing.html?fbclid=IwAR2ii6N_T24cEuQdi2_lAMZPK4CE5QJxRq60dp6bQmEfFGpBiWap6yhQdAg&mibextid=Zxz2cZ#lcsmta71da0t4b5f78q
@normative this is close to the plot of DS9 1x20 "In the Hands of the Prophets"
@elfprince13 Well, that was of course itself based on real world efforts by creationists to suppress teaching of evolution.
@normative I grew up in an evangelical household in the 90s/00s, so I am **well** acquainted with the real-world inspiration, but the Bajoran v Federation political situation and Vedek Winn's tactics actually come closer to the hypothetical you describe (although of course unsuccessfully).
