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.
What they want to do is eliminate the concept of chattel slavery, imply we helped Africans to immigrate then taught them useful trade skills, and imply that black people should still be grateful to white people for this kindness
They want to say this is a special immigration, it’s one we invited them in graciously to build out a workforce of laborers, but then their descendents became lazy criminals and are abusing welfare
It’s all just racism and historical whitewashing. It’s not a coherent ideology, it’s racism dressed up enough to lead children to extreme racism without their natural empathy or logic getting in the way
And the implication of all the prauger u stuff seems to be that we need to bring back slavery in some form, which would be easier if they remove the word slavery from the language
