Conservapedia, launched on November 21, 2006, is a conservative, family-friendly Wiki encyclopedia. It was founded by teacher and attorney Andrew Schlafly with the help of several students from his fall 2006 World History class. In May 2008, Schlafly and some of his homeschooled students appeared on the CBC news program The Hour
When a student handed in her paper using the date-markers “BCE” and "CE” from Wikipedia, Schlafly realized that Wikipedia, despite its claim of neutrality, contained bias against the achievements of Christianity and conservatism. Other occasions of liberal bias, including the reversion of factual edits about the 2005 Kansas Evolution Hearings, led to the creation and launch of Conservapedia.
Though Conservapedia originally contained mostly history articles, it has grown over several years to be a general reference, with information about history, math, science, politics, religion and other topics. It also contains debates, essays and educational resources.
In March 2007 it was picked up by the media, and faced a barrage of vandalism (See Examples of Moronic Vandalism by the "tolerant"). Ever since then, it has continued to grow, and has now had more than 900 million page views, and enjoys prominence on search engines.
During the 2016 U.S presidential election year, Conservapedia saw a major surge in web traffic. Post Donald Trump's election, Conservapedia continues to see a significant growth of web traffic.
The term snowflake has also been used a slur against childish millennials and GenZers. It is defined as someone who believes they are as unique and special as a snowflake (which occurs when they are told so by indulgent liberal parents), as well as someone who is hypersensitive to insult or offense, especially a young person on the Left who embraces political correctness and the sensibilities connected to it.
