We published a book on African American history . So, I was pondering the disappearance of African American curriculum, thanks to anti-DEI and Woke politics. As a homeschooling parent and administrator, the censorship of curriculum really bothers me... so I thought, and I thought. Then I realized that everything you need to know about African American History is available... in stories, novels and plays. So the book I wrote is actually a literature guide to African American history. It lists, in order of historical periods, fiction and nonfiction books and plays that a person could read to get a full understanding of the history attached to it. Each piece of literature listed tells you the date, setting, synopsis, and essay prompts. Books reviewed include stories from pre-colonial Africa, slavery, reconstruction, civil rights, and modern voices. Check it out and let me know what you think. https://amzn.to/3GFopsA

My parents felt that we had better warn them that there was some material at the beginning of the video that wasn't appropriate for a younger audience.

To the writer who was positing the objection to homeschooling as isolating and indoctrinating then added parents who travel are the only ones who could expose their children to other cultures...
How is that an objection to homeschooling? It's rather an endorsement. Parents whose children are imprisoned in public schools are relegated to traveling only at peak times, which automatically limits their choices and opportunities for exposure. Homeschooling families can (and often do) take their school on the road, integrating their travels into their curriculum. The history, economy, culture and geography of the places visited become the topics of the hour. The traveling homeschooled students thereby learning far more about each destination than a family traveling for vacation.
It's the children stuck in school, isolated with their age-mates and kept away from people of differing ages, bored silly and wasting their days while planning what to do *after* school who need a break. They're being indoctrinated by their government and teachers' unions rather than having an opportunity to question and challenge all that they encounter.
