Asatru University

It started (will start?) as an online coalition of Asatru parents, teachers, and home-schoolers. They exchange techniques, educational resources, and support for educating the Asatru children both outside and in addition to the typical education systems. This helps prepare their kids for life better than public schools can.

In some areas, their numbers grow enough to political clout in their local school districts and, eventually, in their state governments. This leads pushes to remove old, embedded preconceptions about education from some of the schools. The Asatru philosophies grow in strength.

Asatru and Asatru-friendly professors and teachers create a training program for parents and teachers. It trains them in education, education law, as well as how to deal with the influences of Christians in the public schools. The program grows in strength as more Asatru parents learn about it. The success of the students gains respect for the program and more parents move to Asatru training for their own children.

Online courses grow. These expand to education for both children and adults. At this point, there is no accreditation due to a lack of resources. It does lead to the Asatru equivalent of a Doctor of Divinity degree.

An Asatru person at a private, for-profit online college convinces them to create an offshoot niche college. The first Asatru business degree appears. Soon nursing, paralegal, teaching, and computer technology degrees follow.

Most Asatruar do well in education. Great respect comes to them and their religion as a result. The religion becomes more mainstream. Employers look forward to having hard working, intelligent Asatru employees. Many Asatruar start businesses of their own.

Asatru graduates enter the military as officers. This weakens the influence of fundamentalist Christians in the armed forces and better protects the Constitution. There is some pushback from some of the extreme fundamentalists, but authorities remove them before they can harm much.

The first brick and mortar Asatru four-year college opens. It includes dorms, a working farm, and ROTC. Courses include business, nursing, law, and astronomy. Several more follow. Soon there are Asatru colleges in England, Australia, Holland, and Iceland.

An Asatru University springs up with its emphasis in law and political science. The doctorates awarded by an Asatru institution are met with welcome.

More universities open. Most notable is the Idunna School of Medicine, which includes its own hospital.
