Homeschool networks deliberately seeded the next generation into political power.

Evidence

In 2000, Farris founded Patrick Henry College, a college catering to homeschoolers. Although the school accepted fewer than one hundred students a year, in its fourth year of existence it accounted for 7 percent of White House interns. In 2004, Farris and the HSLDA launched Generation Joshua to recruit homeschooled teenagers as foot soldiers for the Republican Party. Trained to advance the next iteration of the culture wars, homeschoolers infiltrated the halls of power, finding work in the White House and on Capitol Hill. — Kristin Kobes Du Mez, Jesus and John Wayne, 433

• SHARE: Patrick Henry College producing 7 percent of White House interns from under 100 students a year is a specific, narrow stat worth sending to someone tracking elite capture pipelines.
• XREF: connects to: Political change propagates from a single thinker through schools to public influence over decades — Angus Burgin, The Great Persuasion: Reinventing Free…, 554; Friedman deliberately targeted students as the vehicle for generational political change — Angus Burgin, The Great Persuasion: Reinventing Free…, 556
