![The Klan did not view Catholics & Jews as biologically inferior in contrast to its anti-black racism, but charged them w/specific offenses; these were neither minor nor victimless crimes but a krill of treason, aimed at undermining the nation. The Klan saw itself as a public crier calling out an emergency, & as a civic movement responding to that emergency through cleansing the society of its filth. It Was "divinely appointed to set the forces in operation to rescue Americanism & save our Protestant institutions from the designs of the Scarlet Mother," as anti-Catholics liked to call the Catholic Church. In Klan theology, evangelical Protestantism was what the founding fathers had imagined & decreed, an entirely false & ahistorical rendering ofc of their eighteenth-century religious creeds. Another aspect of Klan Americanism was its suspicion of "elites." Central to this resentment lay a form of class analysis that enabled the Klan's claim to stand for the little men against the big men. This definition of elites differed from the more common usage in the main-stream press of the time, which typically defined elites as those with political & economic power. The Klan shared half of that definition, in its disgust with politicians (though Klansmen would soon join them); it represented "the people" against the pols. The Klan targeted neither large-scale economic power nor successful businessmen; in fact, it called for putting "big" men in office Its primary adversaries, those responsible for the erosion of American values & the American way of life, were not capitalists or men of significant wealth. Instead the elites it condemned were cosmopolitan, highbrow urbanites, who were often liberals. That stratum was eroding American morality, particularly its sexual morality. This anxiety was of course aimed at women, but not exclusively, as local chapters occasionally tried to discipline predatory & adulterous men.

"We banned sexual education for teens because comprehensive education encourages teens to have sex. We utterly disavowed teen sex, we banned discussion, education, anything that might provide context or nuance and told them teen sex was very naughty and would kill them!" "Did they believe that?"
