(Un)Hidden from Self: On LGBTQ Students and the Conspiratorial Demonology of the New Apostolic Reformation
Review of Education, Pedagogy & Cultural Studies, v47 n1 p47-71 2025
In this conceptual essay, the author draws upon scholarship to reflect on personal experiences in a school associated with the New Apostolic Reformation, a neo-Charismatic Pentecostal network within the broader Christian nationalist movement. The author discusses the educational implications of the NAR's conspiratorial teachings about how demonic activity is believed to cause inner LGBTQ experiences. The author shows how conspiratorial demonology is present in the curriculum, pedagogy, and polices of P-16 schools influenced by the New Apostolic Reformation. The author thus argues the need for constitutional protections and curriculum regulation for LGBTQ students in New Apostolic Reformation and other religious schools. Throughout the essay, the author specifically reflects on students in religious schools who may have inner LGBTQ experiences but who do not conceive of themselves as LGBTQ.
