HSLDA attorney and homeschool alum Darren Jones says homeschooled kids aren't isolated even though he provided legal backup in 2009 for Karen and Timothy Tolin, homeschooling parents who isolated a naked child in a cage surrounded by urine and feces.

At a moment when SNAP is getting cut for 41 million Americans and groceries are almost prohibitively expensive, I had better not see anything about financial literacy classes.

Financial literacy classes for the poor implies that poverty is their fault.

They don’t need classes. They need finances!

it does seem wrong for violence against children to be legal

Did you know?

In 47 states, there are no background checks or safeguards in place to ban those whose children may be at risk of abuse or neglect from homeschooling.

Anyone interested in Christian nationalism in the US needs to read @kellyjbaker.bsky.social's book, Gospel According to the Klan.

is a rapture a recession indicator?

Some claim "Christian nationalism" is just "loving Jesus" & "being patriotic."

Lots of social scientific evidence shows the "Christianity" of Christian nationalism is much more than that.

In fact, it brings with it 5 pieces of cultural baggage.

FUCK, man.

homeschooled alumni have been saying this, and it's bad

Been in the homeschool reform movement for seven years, was a homeschooled kid for much longer. I can tell you that this smugness is baked into homeschool culture.

Far too often, parents who homeschool are more obsessed about controlling their child than they are about actually caring for them.

This kind of travesty is made possible through extremely lax homeschool laws, which allow abuse parents like these to disappear their kids and cut off their access to any official or professional who could spot a problem and intervene.

Mississippi 48th overall for child well-being. I think they should be worried about other things.

Dobson is probably responsible for much of the child abuse in the Southern Baptist ecosystem. Good riddance.

Great reason for champagne on a work night 🙌🎉

That sounds so fun!

This is unfortunately way too common in the psych/mental health space 😫 APA accredited graduate programs are super competitive but they’re the only trustworthy programs imo

Same. I was telling my partner earlier how I feel so helpless seeing other girls go through what I went through and not being able to do anything. It’s so upsetting.

I’ve been wanting to watch that documentary!

I just found out about the Covenant Matches dating site. It’s a Christian nationalist dating app where the PARENTS sign up for their kids. Absolutely horrifying…

the US profoundly needs a children's rights movement. children are not property... they deserve opportunity and learning and autonomy and security.... and our country just does not acknowledge this

But the parents are so lost they don’t even realize that it’s not the classes that changed your kid, it was separation from YOU. No gender studies, sociology, or history class could ever accomplish what three months of not having to live with your bullies will do.

Would anyone like to read a draft of the first two chapters of my book on evangelical homeschooling, currently titled "Homeschool Confidential: Inside the Evangelical Homeschooling Movement"?

Just curious to get first impressions. Message me your email if interested, thanks!!
