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.
