With a follow-up grant from the Fund after earlier coverage in the Texas Observer, Steven Monacelli reported on a new coalition of Christian nationalist groups, the Remnant Alliance, that is mobilizing congregations to take over Texas school boards. Several leaders of the coalition are members of the Council on National Policy, a secretive group founded in 1981 that has worked to link wealthy right-wing donors and political operatives to plan and execute long-term strategies. The Remnant Alliance’s political activism is framed as spiritual warfare against satanic evil in the pursuit of realizing the kingdom of God on earth, and Monacelli reported that school boards are a top priority for the group.
