I would say the biggest dangers to homeschooling are Christian nationalism, purity culture, patriarchy, and
00:00:06
Quiverfull ideology. And so if you're able to homeschool and you're able to
00:00:09
sort of be aware of those influences within homeschool spaces, then you are probably 10 steps ahead of like
00:00:15
[clears throat] where my parents were or maybe where your parents were. Um and really I mean the individual
00:00:20
homeschool experience comes down to um what resources you have in your community, like what homeschool
00:00:26
resources you have. Do you have access to museums? Are there libraries? Are there secular homeschooling groups? So
00:00:32
I'm not totally opposed to homeschooling. I think that the decision to homeschool has to be made by each
00:00:37
individual family.
