Media Matters has obtained a set of galleys of the Kevin Roberts/Heritage Foundation book, originally titled Dawn’s Early Light: Burning Down Washington . Madeline Peltz is xeeting bits of its formerly secret contents. Please follow her and share this far and wide.
This is the first in a new series of DK posts doing so, and digging further into what she reports in each segment. Our story begins: x New: Heritage president Kevin Roberts is delaying publication of his book amidst Project 2025 backlash. Unfortunate for him, as media matters already has a galley copy and I'm blogging it as I read through: pic.

com/sppoFqLmbU — Madeline Peltz (@peltzmadeline) August 8, 2024 x My latest: In now-delayed book, Heritage President Kevin Roberts calls America's teachers "insane" and promises a MAGA takeover of education: "We don’t merely seek an exit from the system; we are coming for the curriculums and classrooms of the remaining public schools, too" pic.twitter.com/RQVzQ9cPew — Madeline Peltz (@peltzmadeline) August 8, 2024 Wrong-Wingers learned to hate the public schools from Milton Friedman, who posited that they are necessarily instruments of propaganda and tyranny, and that everyone should get vouchers, so we can have “free-market” competition among schools.
Milton Friedman, Apostle of Economic Creationism In particular, he wrote, in Capitalism and Freedom , The Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy against Hillary Clinton began when she went undercover to expose segregated “Christian” “academies”, as a law student, although the phrase came into use much later. NYT: How Hillary Clinton Went Undercover to Examine Race in Education The Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy's Dossier on Hillary Clinton , by Amanda B. Carpenter , straight from the heart of the conspiracy.
They actually brag about it. The list of Regnery authors reads like a "who's who" of conservative thought, action, and history. Shutting down the Department of Education has long been on the R wish list.
