This video is about my childhood indoctrination and the Christian Nationalist propaganda I was taught. To provide an inside look, I give a tour of my homeschool 8th grade "science" binder.
Thanks so much for watching!

Image description: This video starts with a content warning that says, "Content Warning: ableism and racism, including mentions of chattel slavery. Clips from the U.S. capitol insurrection on 1/6/21 are shown from 01:05 - 01:23." After the warning, the video shows Elly, who is white with brown eyes and shoulder-length brown hair. She is wearing a black tank top, sitting in front of a bed as she talks to the camera. The middle of the video shows clips of Elly's 8th grade "science" binder.
