John E. Karlin, Ph.D. will be speaking to the McClain County Democrats about the Christian Nationalism movement at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, June 16 at Libby’s Cafe in Goldsby, 111 N. Main St. The public is invited to attend.
Dr. Karlin is a retired professor of sociology and administration of justice and will be speaking about the movement’s impact on U.S. politics. He will discuss the long- and short-term goals of the movement by linking their ideology and belief system to those goals.
He will share his belief that Christian Nationalism is a movement to convert the United States from a Democratic nation into a theocracy serving the interests of oligarchs in whom power is primarily concentrated.
Dr. Karlin earned a bachelor’s of science degree at Wichita State University in Wichita, Kansas, in 1974, a master’s of science in administration of justice at Wichita State University in 1975, and a doctor of philosophy degree at Louisiana State University in Shreveport, Louisiana.
