WHATEVER COULD BE PLAGUING AMERICAN MOTHERS?!
Exhibit 84
The question is asked “Who watches T.V.?” The answer is that “seventy-three million households or ninety-seven percent of all U.S. households have T.V. sets” Ninety-seven percent! That must include a lot of Christian homes. Now who watches T.V.? Adult women, average 30 hours a week. What is happening to the American mother?

Sometimes I cannot help but hearing Tucker Carlson’s stupid voice when I read Donald Howard’s manifestos. Just an annoying, condescending string of non-sequitur questions that drip with faux-concern until his stoopid face settles into that look five year olds make when they do a dookie.
Welcome, reader, to our first installment in a series that will focus on sexism within Accelerated Christian Education culture. To do this, we’ll examine some of the comic strips and content that appear in the Packets of Accelerated Christian Education (PACEs) and document the sexist disinformation that appears (and reappears) in the manifestos of Donald Howard, ACE’s author.
There is no end to the number of Exhibits I could put into these 3x posts - ACE just oozes disdain for women. Male superiority permeates everything, and the only exception is when women are being degraded. It’s a forgone conclusion that God designed men to dominate women.
PACE courses like the histories, sciences, Collectivism etc., all focus on men’s discoveries and exploits. Whether by birth or by marriage, women are first presented as the product or property of a man. They play submissive, supportive roles. They help men on their quest to do manly things. For many more examples of this, check out my Collectivism 133 series (a basic government course). Here’s an example:
*he’s talking about the life of Voltaire (poorly)
Exhibit 85
The next five years were consumed in an immoral liaison with the Marquise du Châtelet, a woman some years his senior. Upon the demise of Madam du Châtelet, in 1749, Voltaire accepted the longstanding invitation of Fredrick II of Prussia to take up residence in Berlin.
Collectivism 133, page 32
“Marquise” or “Madam” had a name (seriously, fuck Donald). Émilie le Tonnelier de Breteuil, marquise Du Châtelet-Lomont. You would never know it from this small mention “a woman” gets, but she was actually a well-known French philosopher and scientist. She had a scientific paper published by the Academy of Sciences in 1744. Her relationship with Voltaire seems kind of cute from the outside; they were intellectual and science partners as much as lovers, and she helped him avoid political persecution by hiding him at her château in Cirey [1, 2]. I don’t know much else about them and I honestly don’t care. My point is that this presentation of Emilie is flagrantly sexist.
It might not be obvious, but his comment on her age is dripping with disgust. If Donald was alive today, I can confidently say he would have a youtube channel that talks wayyy too much about the peak fertility age of feeemaaales (did someone say Nick Fuentes?).
Please, guess how much older Emilie was than Voltaire:
Answer in the footnotes1.
In order to inject this poison into more benign courses (like English or Math) that couldn’t otherwise be subverted by far-right talking points, Donald employed those 60 character traits he got from Bill Gothard (Ex. 12, Ex. 13, Ex. 14, Ex. 15, Ex. 18, Ex. 19, Ex. 68).
Throughout the PACEs, comic strips appear at the top or bottom of various pages within each PACE. These comic strips are suppose to portray practical situations that demonstrate these character traits in action. As you can guess, men tend to demonstrate traits like Persuasive and Decisive, while women portray Compassionate and Considerate.
That being said, there is no room for non-binary or trans-persons in the ACE community. That topic isn’t even broached. Throughout this series, I will exclusively use he/her pronouns, or refer to character traits as ‘girl traits’ or ‘boy traits.’ That’s just me speaking the language of the oppressor, from the perspective of the oppressor.
God and his creations exist entirely in a (teeny tiny) box of Donald’s imagining.
Here’s Submissive:
Exhibit 86
This is from a middle school English PACE. These students can’t even learn something as relatively innocent (if archaic) as cursive without being inundated with sexism. Even the example sentence the student has to draw out is just insane. You could not overestimate how many times a child gets exposed to this poison throughout a K-12 experience.
It’s even present in some of the eDUcati0n4L text:
Exhibit 87
(Ace Virtueson is the main character in the A.C.E. comics, go figure)
As Submissive is to women, so Respectful is to men:
Exhibit 88
Again, this is an English lesson. Children learning cursive are simultaneously being taught that brutal murder is the Biblical consequence for disrespecting men of God, while women should submit to men of God. Not what I’d call a healthy dynamic.
Let’s recall what Donald, and pedophile Bill Gothard, mean by Respectful:
Exhibit 13a
48. Respectful
A feeling of deep respect and honor mixed with wonder, awe, and love for the person that God is using in my life to produce the character of Christ in me
Rebirth of Our Nation, Appendix C (Also various PACE’s)
In the context of a student teacher relationship, this is disturbing. In the context of marriage, this is some Project 2025 shit.
I have much more to share on this topic. I’m excited to finish writing installment 3b., which will give you some resources to help you debunk O.G. abortion myths. If you grew up in the South (or the 80’s and 90’s in general) you probably absorbed a few of these myths without even remembering you did. I know I did.
I plan to get back to focusing on the PACE based sexism in 3c, as well as sexual abuse within ACE culture. If you want more PACE based sexism from Donald/ACE to tie you over, check out my Collectivism 133 series (Donny blames Eve for the fall of man because of where she was standing. She totally must’ve wanted it, bro).
Part 4 coming soon!
She wasn’t. Voltaire was born in 1694, making him 12 years older.
Ew.
"You make my decisions so easy with your loving, submissive spirit." 🤮
