Has anyone read the news stroy over the little girl who wrote the poem on White Nationalism. She was homeschooled and I am wondering if this isn't another strike for homeschoolers. I saw the interview with her and she definately sounds like an intelligent girl. But I wonder if they are a Christian family. I have tried very hard to teach my son the truth in American history...it isn't all pretty, no way, but this is still one of the greatest countries! We read Amos Fortune Free Man...and taht was such a refreshing look at the plight of the black man. This man had an amazing attitude and looked at his lot in life with grace and love for others. He never blamed anyone, all though you could read of his bitterness about loosing his sister. I really enjoyed sharing this 'peek' into slavery with my son. We still had a conversation about the awfulness of slavery and there were questions I really didn't know how to answer...and may never know how to answer. But I do hope that someday we will all be able to see eachother as fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, dispite the history that apparently still effects us today.

This girl is not from a Christian family. She went to an Islam school before being homeschooled. Some people will hold this up as an example of why homeschooling is awful. But it is truly not a homeschooling issue. This girl could go to any school and still believe as she does. I find it very difficult to believe that a seven year old could write that poem though, even if bright or gifted.
