=== Ad Exit to Protect Your Kids (01:42) ===

[00:00:03]  Hello everybody and thank you for tuning in to the weekly report, Ad Exit to Protect Your Kids from Critical Race Theory.
[00:00:12]  Parents across the country are fighting to stop government schools from indoctrinating their children with critical race theory.
[00:00:20]  Critical race theory is a form of Marxism that focuses on the oppression of racial minorities.
[00:00:28]  Central critical race theory is the belief that free markets are a tool of racial oppression that must be abolished and replaced with socialism.
[00:00:38]  This is dangerous nonsense.
[00:00:41]  History shows that governments not free markets are and always have been the instruments of racial oppression.
[00:00:49]  For example, legislators passed Jim Crow laws because private businesses refused to voluntarily segregate their customers.
[00:00:57]  Numerous scholars have documented how the welfare state and the war on drugs, as well as minimum wage laws, occupational licensing laws, and other anti-liberty laws disproportionately harm minorities.
[00:01:14]  Some of these laws were passed with the explicit goal of protecting white workers from competition with minorities.
[00:01:23]  Public outrage over teaching children that the only way to overcome racism is to sacrifice liberty helped build efforts to pass laws banning the teaching of critical race theory.
[00:01:36]  Some of these efforts are accompanied by advancing mandates that schools promote a positive or patriotic view of America.

=== Liberty-Focused Homeschooling Curriculum (03:03) ===

[00:01:45]  This can replace one form of indoctrination with another.
[00:01:49]  A patriotic curriculum could teach children that the change from a constitutional republic to a welfare warfare state was a victory for liberty.
[00:01:59]  It could also teach that American government is morally justified, incapable of managing the economy at home and spreading democracy abroad.
[00:02:10]  It could teach children lies like capitalism caused the Great Depression.
[00:02:15]  Instead of arguing over what form of statism government schools should participate with children in, liberty activists should work to replace government control of education with parental control.
[00:02:29]  The key to this is to restore parental control of education dollars through education tax credits and tax-free education savings accounts.
[00:02:39]  This can enable parents to afford to ad exit from the government schools by sending their children to private schools.
[00:02:48]  It can also help parents afford the costs associated with homeschooling.
[00:02:52]  Increased charitable deductions can help fund private education for low-income families.
[00:03:00]  Tax credits can be implemented without increasing the deficit by tying them to legislation closing the Department of Education.
[00:03:10]  Homeschooling is an increasingly attractive option for many parents.
[00:03:14]  Parents interested in providing their children with a quality education should consider my homeschooling curriculum.
[00:03:21]  The Ron Paul curriculum provides students with a well-rounded education that includes rigorous programs in history, mathematics, and the physical and natural sciences.
[00:03:32]  The curriculum also provides instruction in personal finance.
[00:03:36]  Students can develop superior communication skills via intensive writing and public speaking courses.
[00:03:45]  Another feature of my curriculum is that it provides students the opportunity to create and run their own businesses.
[00:03:53]  The government and history sections of the curriculum emphasizes Austrian economics, libertarian political theory, and the history of liberty.
[00:04:03]  However, unlike government schools, my curriculum never puts ideological indoctrination ahead of education.
[00:04:11]  Interactive forums ensure students are engaged in their education and that they have the opportunity to interact with their peers outside of a formal setting.
[00:04:22]  I encourage all parents looking at alternatives to government schools, alternatives that provide children with a well-rounded education that introduces them to the history and ideas of liberty without sacrificing education for indoctrination.
