I know you are looking for media, but, as I am sure you know, nothing you will find will be totally without presuppositions, assumptions and agenda. Part of your lesson can be teaching how to discern those in everything they encounter.

I think anything coming with a recommendation for PBS should come with the disclaimer “Pretty Biased Stuff”.

I don’t care when it was made; PBS is what it is. I hope your kids come to understand that and get some good out of the documentary.

Best of luck and keep up the good work (homeschooling)!

If you want your kids to have the facts about MLK, they will need to know that he was a leftist radical who called American troops war criminals. He was not a Republican, as is often claimed.

Um, to echo GeronL’s sentiment, why not study the Constitution....?

I want to thank you for this thread

Its the best evidence since amnesty was touted around here just how bad it is for America

Totally hopeless

This is conservatism

I literally am rolling on my truck seat laughing my ass off

Unbelievable

There is no appropriate reply to the pitiful evidence of brainwashing
What i see here is platitudes from 1970s liberals being parroted by folks who think they are conservative

We are past the point of no return

You asked for video, but IMHO the effects of “production values” on intellectual quality can be quite bad. I would direct your attention to these links:
William Wilberforce

Black Rednecks and White Liberals - Thomas Sowell

Epistle to Philemon

The second half of “Black Rednecks” is a real history of slavery - pointing out that slavery was a universal institution throughout history and worldwide, until Christians in general (and Protestants in particular, most especially English) rejected the institution. The key point to understand is that not only were Christians not uniquely bad about slavery, no one but Christians ever rejected slavery on principle.

Note the Book of Philemon is a letter of Paul to a slave owner, and it does not reject slavery.

People even belabor the fact that it took a whole ten years for Christians to abolish the gladitorial games which had been an integral part of Roman society for many generations!
