Despite the exposure of pornographic books in school libraries and Marxist critical race theory curricula in K-12 public schools, parental concern about the American school system remains under attack. In light of parents being repeatedly shut out of board meetings or having their concerns not only ignored, but called “distractions,” concerned taxpayers are hitting the ground educating others about school-system failures.
Parents and grandparents are developing local websites that highlight questionable materials and policy within public schools. In North Carolina, several communities have come together to create these resources. In Wake County, a group created the Pavement Education Project which highlights sexually explicit books and their school locations “so that citizens can make informed decisions about educating their children, caring for their families, and committing to issues in their communities.” Dare County, NC parents created Dare to Share to bring local public-school concerns to their county. Orange County, NC parents developed the non-partisan OCS Truth which highlights sexual materials in schools, teacher attrition rates, and student outcomes. Resources come from OCS Board of Education presentations, equity reports commissioned by the board, and school materials -- all cited and researched.
The greater challenge, however, has been disseminating these resources, especially with local media outlets biased against parental rights and those who stand up for them. OCS Truth created business cards with its website link. Outside an Orange County elementary school, a brave parent handed out these cards to those waiting in the afternoon pick-up line. She remained on public property, politely and efficiently engaging with those arriving for afternoon dismissal. Orange County elected school officials, however, would not tolerate such fascist and scary behavior by a parent.

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
