The Education Exodus

The article by Ronald Beaty discusses the rising trend of homeschool co-ops as an alternative to public education, which many parents see as increasingly hostile to their values. By 2025, it is estimated that seven million children are being educated outside traditional schools, marking a significant shift towards educational freedom and autonomy.

1. Public School Concerns: Public schools are viewed as places promoting progressive ideas rather than civic education. Curricula often teach Critical Race Theory and other ideologies that some parents, particularly conservatives, find troubling.

2. Hostility to Family Values: Many parents believe schools have become antagonistic towards their values, leading to a decade-long rise in dissatisfaction with public education.

3. Homeschool Co-ops Emergence: Homeschool co-ops are groups of families coming together to provide education outside of public schools. They prioritize community engagement and often have diverse educational offerings.

4. Improved Academic Outcomes: Studies show homeschooled students, particularly those in co-ops, achieve higher academic performance than their public school peers. They often have lower education costs compared to private schooling.

5. Criticism of Co-ops: Critics claim that these co-ops may foster insularity and promote echo chambers. However, proponents argue that many public schools reflect a similar bias toward liberal ideologies.

6. Value of Alternative Education: Co-ops promote self-reliance, character building, and diverse intellectual thought that transcends traditional progressive narratives found in many public schools.

7. Challenges of Co-ops: Despite their benefits, co-ops face obstacles such as limited resources and socialization opportunities that public schools can offer. However, they can provide an enriching educational experience without ideological bias.

8. Call for Support: The author calls for support of homeschool co-ops, suggesting the creation of "Homeschool Liberty Funds" to help fund these initiatives. Parents are encouraged to advocate for laws protecting educational freedoms.

The rise of homeschool co-ops represents a significant educational movement against what many see as a decline in public schooling's quality and values. Just as past revolutionaries took a stand for their beliefs, today's families are finding new ways to champion educational freedom and reclaim their children's learning opportunities. Supporting this movement is essential for preserving a diverse and vibrant educational landscape.

Fauci Files Reveal Pfizer Helped Biden Rig 2020 Election

 Pfizer secretly colluded with Joe Biden's team to help him rig the 2020 election against Trump, according to new Fauci documents. In his new book, "On Call," Fauci admits that Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer, called him the night after Biden was declared the winner of the election, to inform him of Pfizer's "Game-changing results" from the rigged mRNA trial. "On November 7, after the absentee ballots were counted, Joe Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election. It was the very next night that Albert Bourla, Pfizer's CEO, called me away from my neighbors' fire pit to inform me about the game-changing results from the Pfizer mRNA vaccine trial. I finally thought we had truly turned a corner in defeating this terrible disease." Today reports: In another interesting tidbit, Fauci discusses Trump's FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn declaring that he would not go along with the Trump Administration's plan to roll out the vac...

The Biden-Harris White House Has An Iranian Spy Leaking U.S. Intelligence In It

 The question is, how did classified intelligence from the United States, showing Israeli military movements that suggest broader action against Iran, get to Tehran? The answer raises uncomfortable questions for the Biden-Harris White House, which has opposed Israel every step of the way in responding to Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran. Defying Biden got Israel the entire leadership of Hezbollah and Hamas, with the ultimate threat still looming: Iran and its nuclear program. Operations against Iran are being assessed also because Iran has started firing ballistic missiles into Israel, targeting civilian centers across the country. If Israel is close to launching a broader offensive against Iran, leaking U.S. intelligence would be a way to both try and deter Israel and give more warning to Iran. In 2012, similar allegations were made against the Obama administration when U.S. intelligence leaks showed that Israel was working towards using "Azerbaijan as a base of operations in the event...
