Of course not, math is white (and therefore racist) since it insists there is a discrete, singular answer to a problem.

Which totally ignores the contributions of medieval Arabic (isn’t that an oppressed minority, or were they “white” or “acting white”?) to the science

Bob: All my histories are written for high school or higher. High level junior high school kids would likely find them readable as well. They are aimed at the general public, and are designed to not only tell the history of space exploration, but to do it in the context of the politics of the time.

I have never been able to figure out how to get educational institutions to consider them. Maybe the home schooling movement might be interested.

Bob: There are also my own books. Anyone who wishes to teach kids a well-rounded history of space exploration in the 20th century must include my books as part of the curriculum. I hope that home schoolers are doing so.

Some resources for homeschooling
I would recommend Right Start Mathematics for math up through geometry.
And Shurley for English writing – yes, it makes you diagram sentences, which would have helped poor Mr Church up there.
Also, the HSLDA as mentioned above. They not only provide legal support for homeschoolers (particularly in places where they are made to jump through a lot of hoops), but also have lots of resources related to homeschooling conventions, state organizations, and co-ops and such where you can learn more and get a good start.

Prageru.com has a great series of short videos on history, culture, and straight talk on topics like climate change. They also have a series of videos for young children and I believe also books for them.
Kahn Academy for math and science topics
websites like Mr. Zimmerman’s to interest children in space exploration. Also his books.
Other books to counteract the propaganda fed to children in government schools but also to interest children in the interesting and important topics of our time. For example, I just came across a great book by Ian Stewart discussing the importance of mathematics.
I’m sure other commenters know of other resources.

Unfortunately, the route they’ll take isn’t reduction in funding, but creating new laws to limit/ban homeschooling and force kids back where they can continue to “…unlearn the mis-education of the last 3 centuries.”

I like your optimizism, though :)

“Kids these days”: Well, they’re not going to learn anything in the 12 years of their lives we insist on gratuitously wasting. Nevermind calculus, they’re not even learning arithmetic, the teaching of it has been so corrupted. My own blurry knowledge of history probably seems like a classical education in comparison to the total break these kids have with any (real) knowledge of the past.

Somehow, if civilization is to continue, they’ll have to make up the difference in their spare time. The homeschooled will probably be giants in comparison to the crippled public-school children – sought after by anyone who needs actual knowledge and results. While the internet lasts, these kids can get their hands on pretty much any textbook they want for free (for pirate values of free): libgen can help there. Sci-hub allows them to get their hands on scientific papers. But those are just books. Lab experience, experience doing work, experience with tools and machinery – how things are made and done: I’m still trying to correct the lack of that experience in my own life. The raw experiential vacuum people are growing up with today is making them helpless in the face of the world.

more than doubling
Black households saw the largest jump
YES! Go homeschooling! (And homeschooling is a lot more broad than just sitting your kid(s) in a room with a book. There’s co-ops, ‘pods’, etc.)

a lack of students in the public schools should finally force a reduction in funding
Hah! You’re dreaming! They will never see a reduction in funding, unless actual school vouchers are enacted, actually pulling money from the public schools into the market.

But it’s nice some people are finally starting to understand what the public scruels are doing to their children, and the implications it has for the future.

Curious why ” modern racism” needs the qualifier?

Oh, my. It’s been here for a while. If you are talking about a shooting war; well, that’s here, too. Take a gander at San Francisco, Chicago, and looking like Seattle. Everyone seems to be waiting for a Defining Moment; but the reality is more subtle.

Home Schooling is the only safe option
Until the Unions force CRT into the State curriculum requirements……….
