Weekend Insights – Homeschooling is Racist!

Welcome back to Weekend Insights, your LCI “President’s Corner” of miscellaneous articles, events, books, vids, and whatever else I’m thinking about… 

Alright, I apologize, I couldn’t help using this clickbait title today. But what am I supposed to do when MSNBC says homeschooling is racist and they’re using the same sort of clickbait? Okay, the exact wording is “driven by racism” but that’s still so facepalm-worthy you can hardly help but mock it. At any rate, the linked FEE article provides the data that says otherwise: all surveys point to concerns about their children’s education, safety, and general wellness being their prime interests. The short is that once again the MSM (and the MSNBC author in particular) is simply shilling for government control rather than the actual interests of parents and children.
