South Carolina teachers, activists revolt against conservative school board: ‘Christian nationalists’

South Carolina teachers and local leaders slammed conservative Charleston County school board officials, labeling them ‘White Christian’ nationalists at a recent rally.

The "Protect Education Rally" took place March 13 outside the Gaillard Center, a performing arts theater, before the school district's board of trustees met to discuss issues such as increasing wages and compensation for teachers.

"They're all based in a particular brand of religious identities that sociologists are calling ‘White Christian nationalism,'" progressive activist and psychologist Bonnie Cleaveland aud at the rally.
