Springboro’s Revisionist American History Class Has Not Been Canceled
Last week we reported that the Springboro Public School District was planning to host a series of courses on the U.S. Constitution developed by a group with ties to white supremacists, using materials developed by a couple of guys who believe the Bible should supplant US law.
On July 4th, the Dayton Daily News (DDN) reported that the class had been cancelled. The paper said registrants for the course, offered by the Institute on the Constitution, should contact Ricki Pepin at the Institute “for a refund.”
An email obtained by Plunderbund shows that Pepin has not actually cancelled the class but has instead moved it to a new day and location.
According to the email (below), Ms. Pepin will be teaching the class starting a week later once a new location is identified. Ms. Pepin attributes the move to “a bump in the road”, which would more accurately be described as an overwhelmingly negative response from an outraged community.
Pepin’s website advertises her as a speaker focused on the “Contemporary application of Biblical Principles” through a process she labels “Educated activism”. Her lectures aim to teach American History ”from a Biblical foundation”. She is the author of two books “The Apocalypse! Unveiling of the End Times” and “God’s Health Plan”.
While the class will no longer be held on school property, the class was originally advertised in a flyer mailed to parents and staff by Ashley McGuire, Secretary to Superintendent Todd Petrey, using her official Springboro School District email account.
