Homeschooling's Rise
00:03:28

| Hello everybody and thank you for tuning in to the weekly report. | |
| Homeschooling can save children from critical race theory and masks. | |
| The introduction of politicized education ideas like crucial race theory into the curriculum of government schools is a major reason for American public school systems decline. | |
| In many schools, political agendas have been crowding out what many parents understand as the primary purpose of schools, educating students in core subjects such as reading, mathematics, and science. | |
| U.S. government's data from the National Assessment of Educational Progress indicates that as of 2019, only 37% of American high school seniors were proficient in reading. | |
| The results dropped to 24% in math and 22% in science. | |
| The root of the problem is government's near monopoly of education. | |
| That means there is little to no incentive to stop federal, state, and local educats from imposing the latest education fads on students. | |
| Any attempts by government to fix education such as no child left behind or common core inevitably failed. | |
| The replacement of education with indoctrination is one reason why many parents are pulling their children out of public schools to homeschool. | |
| Of course, one main reason for the growth in homeschooling is the COVID lockdowns and masks and vaccine mandates. | |
| Restrictions at schools have been especially absurd since children have tended to be in little danger from COVID. | |
| Homeschooling is legal in all 50 states. | |
| However, the authoritarians who believe children's education must be controlled by experts are constantly trying to undermine homeschoolers. | |
| Sometimes homeschoolers' enemies are aided by well-intentioned homeschooling supporters. | |
| For example, there is a bill in the Alabama state legislature that would make homeschoolers eligible for taxpayers funding. | |
| Homeschooling advocates supporting this bill forget that the government funding is inevitably accompanied by government control. | |
| Thus, any homeschooling family that accepts government money is inviting the government to tell them how to educate their children. | |
| Further, some schools, districts use truancy laws to harass schoolers. | |
| States also make parents prove homeschooled students are receiving an education that meets state standards. | |
| Fortunately, as homeschooling has become a more popular choice, many new resources have become available to aid parents who desire to homeschool their children. | |
| Among these resources is the Ron Paul curriculum. | |
| Students using my homeschooling curriculum can attain a superior education in comparisons to standards set by politicians or bureaucrats. | |

Students Taught Superiorly

|
| Instead of indoctrinating students with instructions in subjects and including racial theory, my curriculum provides students with a solid education in history, literature, mathematics, and the sciences. | |
| It also gives students the opportunity to create their own websites and internet-based businesses. | |
| The curriculum is designed to be self-taught. | |
| Students helping and learning from each other via online forum. | |
| Starting in the fourth grade, students are required to write at least one essay a week. | |
| Students are required to post their essays on their blogs. | |
| Students also take a course in public speaking. | |
| The curriculum does emphasize the history, philosophy, and economics of liberty, but it never substitutes indoctrination for education. | |
| The goal is to produce students with superior critical thinking skills who can thrive with their individuality. | |
