NEW: Meet the latest front in Russian infiltration among the American far-right—America's right-wing homeschooling movement. thinkprogress.org/americas-bigge… 
The ties between sanctioned Russian officials and America's largest right-wing homeschool group (HSLDA) date to at least 2014, when the HSLDA spoke at the controversial 2014 "family planning" conference in Russia. thinkprogress.org/americas-bigge…
Fast-forward to 2018, when the HSLDA decides to co-sponsor the most substantial international homeschooling conference—this time, in Russia.
Another co-sponsor? A group run by the sanctioned Konstantin Malofeev, "God's oligarch" himself.
Among the featured speakers? Yelena Mizulina, who's been sanctioned by the U.S. for five years and counting. thinkprogress.org/americas-bigge…

1. White supremacists
2. Christian fundamentalists
3. Secession movements
4. The @NRA
5. The Trump campaign
6. Homeschooling advocates
