In the early 20th century, Marxist leader Georg Lukács tried to take over Hungary. But the majority Christian citizens of that country were revolted by his anti-Christian stance and ran him out of the country. Lukács moved to Germany, and in 1923, created a PsyOps (psychological warfare) program at Germany’s Goethe University designed to destroy Western civilization and remake it into a Marxist utopia.

Apparently still steaming about his failure in Hungary, Lukács’ group made no bones about what he and his comrades were doing. Their stated intent was to unabashedly promote “cultural terrorism” tactics to “destroy” Marxism’s biggest obstacle — Christians.

By 1933, the group moved to New York City as part of Columbia University and renamed their project the Frankfurt School ... and their warped ideals were pushed into the institutions of art, media, jurisprudence, psychology, and especially education.

They wrote openly about undermining Christianity and family units by promoting sexual immorality and deviancy (the sexual revolution) and specifically targeted the educational system to influence teachers into promoting their theories, which came to be known as “Critical Theory” and “Queer Theory.” 

Defend the teachers who refuse to indoctrinate children with Marxist Queer Theory!

Fast-forward to 2026, and California schools are the pied pipers of cultural Marxism.

“Queer Theory” methodology in the 20th century now seeks to tear down any morality associated with human sexuality — by targeting K-12 schoolchildren. These days, it accomplishes those means by pretending that boys can be girls, that sex isn’t sacred, and that Christian churches and parents are the “enemy oppressors” of children.

Therefore, neither Christians nor parents should be allowed to oppose the Marxist state efforts to confuse and sexualize children for the “glorious cultural revolution” to come. Now you know the TRUE reason why leftists promote secret transing of kids and “cut off culture,” where therapists and counselors instruct children to cut ties with their parents — it's all purposely and willfully designed to destroy the basis of Western civilization: Christianity and the family!

California mandated the PRISM online reeducation camp for all teachers last fall. Teachers were forced to take the course, pass the ideological tests, and present an 800-word paper on how they will implement Queer Theory in their classroom. Teachers who refused, including our clients, were denied their rightful federal religious accommodation rights (under Marxism, Christians are oppressors and have no voice) and shown the door.

But the First Amendment of the Constitution guaranteeing freedom of religion still stands, as do federal religious accommodation rights. Liberty Counsel will NEVER stop fighting to uphold those rights and defend the Christians being refused those rights.

Defend the Faith by defending these teachers. DOUBLE YOUR GIFT with our Challenge Grant.
