As more Black families opt out of public schools, they’re confronting the racist materials dominating the home education market and building alternatives
Extremists have taken advantage of limited regulation. Home school materials, particularly from Christian publishers, have been known for teaching creationism versus evolution.
Some home schooling material has described slave masters as “caregivers” for enslaved people and the practice of slavery as “Black immigration”.
Rightwing material remains a baseline throughout home schooling education, with some parents sharing even more hateful material with their children.
In February 2023, the Ohio department of education investigated a group of home schooling parents who reportedly dispersed pro-Nazi material in a local home schooling group.
So they want to home school their children with Christian materials… That ought to give them a real leg up in the world…
Christianity is big in many black communities. I’m sure there was a certain element of betrayal when seeing this curriculum.
That betrayal has been going on for centuries now. Not sure the black community will ever wake up to that.
they are literally only big on Christianity due to slavery and colonialism wiping out their actual culture. if not a betrayal it’s been a long relationship of abuse
