It\u2019s championed as a tool to help fight the \u2018coming race war\u2019 and the street battles that will precede it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Other Twitter users were equally incredulous at the claim linking health and fitness to the far-Right, including <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kylamb8\/status\/1678454790437707800?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">one who wrote<\/a> that \u201c<span class=\"css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-b88u0q r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\">MSNBC<\/span><span class=\"css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\"> fears <\/span><span class=\"css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-b88u0q r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\">fitness<\/span><span class=\"css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\">, home schooling, parental rights, and religious liberty,\u201d and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FNCriticGuy\/status\/1678522873151889410?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">another opining<\/a> that the claim \u201cseems like an insane conspiracy theory to me, but I\u2019m probably just \u201cfar-right\u201d too.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In March, Miller-Idriss wrote an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msnbc.com\/opinion\/msnbc-opinion\/ohio-couple-used-homeschooling-spread-nazi-ideaoly-rcna68406\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">article<\/a> claiming that some homeschooling was linked to far-Right movements, noting \u201ca strategy that has long been key to white supremacist groups: indoctrinating their children through curriculum designed to teach white supremacy, while keeping them out of what they see as the brainwashing multiculturalism of public schools.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHomeschooling as a strategy to indoctrinate children into white supremacy is nothing new,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a reason why Germany, some 80 years after the Holocaust, does not allow homeschooling: because they see the state as having an obligation to teach democratic citizenship and socialize children in ways that lead to the rejection of antisemitic and extremist ideologies,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elon Musk and Joe Rogan joined in the widespread mockery of an MSNBC opinion columnist\u2018s bizarre claim, complete with a reference to Adolph Hitler, that physical fitness is an evil trick used by white supremacists to recruit supporters.
