This notion is particularly strange given his overwhelming support for homeschooling, which would be expected to have a very small class size. He defended his ideas in an essay at Conservapedia.<a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Andrew_Schlafly#cite_note-74" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">[72]</a> Our own defense of smaller classes, and a rebuttal to the individual points made by Mr. Schlafly, can be seen <a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Conservapedia:Advantages_of_Small_Classes" title="Conservapedia:Advantages of Small Classes" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">here</a>.<span class="subcategory-collapse-toggle bi bi-arrows-collapse" data-bs-target=".family-collapse" data-bs-toggle="collapse" role="button" aria-expanded="true" style="box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer;">The notion that smaller class sizes are preferable for a child's education is so universally acknowledged that class size is an important factor in official college rankings (smaller average class size yielding a higher rank on the listings).<a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Andrew_Schlafly#cite_note-75" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">[73]</a> If you intend to enroll your child in one of Mr. Schlafly's classes under the impression that your child will be in a smaller, more intimate environment, and will receive more personal attention than in a public school classroom, you are likely mistaken.<h4 style="margin: 0.3em 0px 0px; padding-top: 0.5em; padding-bottom: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 1.6; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span class="subcategory-collapse-toggle bi bi-arrows-collapse" data-bs-target=".family-collapse" data-bs-toggle="collapse" role="button" aria-expanded="true" style="box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer;">Inflated sense of expertise[</h4><span class="subcategory-collapse-toggle bi bi-arrows-collapse" data-bs-target=".family-collapse" data-bs-toggle="collapse" role="button" aria-expanded="true" style="box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer;">Schlafly frequently claims expertise in whatever subject he is debating, and has repeatedly attacked and denied opinion, evidence, and references by qualified editors, making unsubstantiated claims that are opinion, assertion, or uneducated guesses, and of which he brooks no criticism.

In one example, a student doubted the idea that Adam and Eve are only six thousand years old because of cave paintings, and Schlafly said, "The cave paintings lack any corroborating evidence, and there are good questions to ask about whether the paintings were dated or simply some sediment nearby (probably the latter).

On the one hand, as a very conservative Christian with a literalist interpretation of the Bible (he prefers the NIV, although he believes it is too liberal and is "written at only the 7th Grade level"<a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Andrew_Schlafly#cite_note-145" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">[141]</a><a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Andrew_Schlafly#cite_note-146" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">[142]</a>), he views it as the authoritative work of history and science and thus believes that Genesis is a true description of the beginning of time. As a result, he holds, along with other Conservapedia administrators, <a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Young_Earth_Creationist" class="mw-redirect" title="Young Earth Creationist" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">Young Earth Creationist</a> views, believing that the Earth is 6,000 - 10,000 years old and that dinosaurs and humans co-existed until recent times.<span class="subcategory-collapse-toggle bi bi-arrows-collapse" data-bs-target=".family-collapse" data-bs-toggle="collapse" role="button" aria-expanded="true" style="box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer;">On the other hand, Schlafly also believes that certain passages of the Bible are "suspect" and have been modified since the original passages were written. In the case of the "adultress parable" (John 7:53-8:11<a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Andrew_Schlafly#cite_note-147" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">[143]</a>) in which Jesus invited those without sin to cast the first stone at an adulteress, he believes that these passages were inserted later in order to support a liberal worldview in which sinners are forgiven.<a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Andrew_Schlafly#cite_note-148" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">[144]</a> Schlafly views this behavior of Jesus to be the beginning of so-called "Moral Relativism," of which <a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Self_projection_as_god" title="Self projection as god" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">he disapproves</a>; for this reason, he argues that this passage of the Bible is actually a hoax.<a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Andrew_Schlafly#cite_note-AS427836-149" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">[145]</a><span class="subcategory-collapse-toggle bi bi-arrows-collapse" data-bs-target=".family-collapse" data-bs-toggle="collapse" role="button" aria-expanded="true" style="box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer;">Throughout Conservapedia, Schlafly uses examples from the Bible to prove his points, believing as he does that it is the infallible Word of God. Yet his conflicting beliefs that certain passages of the Bible are hoaxes complicate that belief enormously. His desire to revise the texts of the Bible and remove what he describes as "vandalism" to the Bible<a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Andrew_Schlafly#cite_note-150" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">[146]</a> to fit his own views disturbed many of even his closest peers at Conservapedia, as did his evident desire to disavow Christian forgiveness<a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Andrew_Schlafly#cite_note-AS427836-149" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">[145]</a> of the adulteress in the story.<h5 style="margin: 0.3em 0px 0px; padding-top: 0.5em; padding-bottom: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 1.6; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span class="subcategory-collapse-toggle bi bi-arrows-collapse" data-bs-target=".family-collapse" data-bs-toggle="collapse" role="button" aria-expanded="true" style="box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer;">Conservative Bible Project[<a href="https://rationalwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Andrew_Schlafly&action=edit&section=30" title="Edit section: Conservative Bible Project" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">edit</a>]</h5><span class="subcategory-collapse-toggle bi bi-arrows-collapse" data-bs-target=".family-collapse" data-bs-toggle="collapse" role="button" aria-expanded="true" style="box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer;">On <a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Christmas" title="Christmas" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">Christmas</a> Day 2008, he became a false prophet by starting the '<a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Conservapedia:Bible_Retranslation_Project" class="mw-redirect" title="Conservapedia:Bible Retranslation Project" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">Bible Retranslation Project</a>', wherein he proposed a rewriting of the Bible to, for example, replace all instances of the term "The Word of God" with his own translation, "The Truth of God," and the rewording of The Ten Commandments with the wording "Thou Shalt Not Murder" replacing "Thou Shalt Not Kill."<a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Andrew_Schlafly#cite_note-151" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">[147]</a> Schlafly went on to write that <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Bible_translations&diff=692041&oldid=629776" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: linear-gradient(transparent, transparent) right center no-repeat, url(" w="w" skins="skins" vector="Vector" resources="resources" skins.vector.styles="skins.vector.styles" images="images" external-link-ltr-icon.svg="external-link-ltr-icon.svg" b4b84="b4b84" padding-right="padding-right" px="px">"no fully conservative translation of the Bible exists as of 2009."</a><a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/File:Capture_0cc0c96b24f2e5f18a7d93d5d45bdc17684bbead.png" title="File:Capture 0cc0c96b24f2e5f18a7d93d5d45bdc17684bbead.png" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">img</a><span class="subcategory-collapse-toggle bi bi-arrows-collapse" data-bs-target=".family-collapse" data-bs-toggle="collapse" role="button" aria-expanded="true" style="box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer;">Realizing that he did not have the knowledge necessary to translate the Bible from Greek, he began a less ambitious project, <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://conservapedia.com/Conservative_Bible_Project" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: linear-gradient(transparent, transparent) right center no-repeat, url(" w="w" skins="skins" vector="Vector" resources="resources" skins.vector.styles="skins.vector.styles" images="images" external-link-ltr-icon.svg="external-link-ltr-icon.svg" b4b84="b4b84" padding-right="padding-right" px="px">The Conservative Bible Project</a><a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/File:Capture_57e8fc7b849f7b41b1bae8eda63981265746cf5d.png" title="File:Capture 57e8fc7b849f7b41b1bae8eda63981265746cf5d.png" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">img</a>, wherein English passages were re-written, as a campaign for a widescale rewrite of the Bible to match his own values, making references to the fact that all current versions of the Bible are "dumbed down," contain passages of doubtful authenticity, are not gender-specific enough, and "improperly encourage the 'social justice' movement among Christians,"<a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Andrew_Schlafly#cite_note-152" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">[148]</a> among other claims.

Internet commentators picked up on his project in early 2007 and created a rush of traffic to the site, and there has continued to be some interest in the site ever since. Many editors from across the political spectrum were concerned about the site's content and some of Schlafly's assertions, and created accounts in order to contribute to the articles and join the discussions. As a result, instead of a group of children building an encyclopedia and having fun while learning, the site has become the battlefield of a series of power struggles in the "Culture Wars" between adults.<h3 style="margin: 0.3em 0px 0px; padding-top: 0.5em; padding-bottom: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 1.6; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span class="subcategory-collapse-toggle bi bi-arrows-collapse" data-bs-target=".family-collapse" data-bs-toggle="collapse" role="button" aria-expanded="true" style="box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer;">Einstein's Theory of General Relativity[</h3><span class="subcategory-collapse-toggle bi bi-arrows-collapse" data-bs-target=".family-collapse" data-bs-toggle="collapse" role="button" aria-expanded="true" style="box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer;">Schlafly made a fool of himself by claiming that <a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Albert_Einstein" title="Albert Einstein" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; text-decoration-line: none;">Albert Einstein's</a> <a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Theory_of_relativity" class="mw-redirect" title="Theory of relativity" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; text-decoration-line: none;">theory of relativity</a> is a "liberal hoax",<a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Andrew_Schlafly#cite_note-einstein-liberal-hoax-156" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; text-decoration-line: none; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">[</a><a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Andrew_Schlafly#cite_note-einstein-liberal-hoax-156" style="background: none; text-decoration-line: none;">152]</a> that it's "false", "confuses people", and "misleads people into stop reading the Bible".<a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Andrew_Schlafly#cite_note-schlafly-relativity-is-false-157" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">[153]</a> He went on to create a page on his website called "counterexamples to relativity".<a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Andrew_Schlafly#cite_note-158" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">[154]</a> Schlafly's opposition to <a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Albert_Einstein" title="Albert Einstein" style="background: none; text-decoration-line: none;">Einstein's</a> <a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Theory_of_Relativity" class="mw-redirect" title="Theory of Relativity" style="background: none; text-decoration-line: none;">Theory of Relativity</a> is due in part to Laurence H.
