Shortly after leaving his position as Housing and Urban Development Secretary with the Trump administration, Ben Carson began working on a supplemental curriculum for elementary school students he called Little Patriots. When the program launched publicly in 2021, he said it was meant to compensate for a lack of emphasis on “the good things of our nation.”
The initial curriculum, comprising short videos and quizzes, contained significant inaccuracies and an undue emphasis on Christianity in U.S. history, including the erroneous assertion that all founding fathers were Christians, according to an American Historical Association historian who reviewed the materials at the request of a reporter at the time.
Three years later, Carson is now part of a panel tasked with reviewing a new, state-authored kindergarten through high school curriculum in Texas. Since an early version of the curriculum was released a few months ago, it has been heavily criticized for what many call an oversized emphasis on Christianity.
