Most homeschoolers give very little attention to mlk, or malcome x, I think perhaps this is why homeschoolers are walking away with many of the national spelling bee and geography bees. I really is a crying shame that public school kids know more trivial things, than things of real importance.

I told my homeschooled daughter that MLK was an important symbol of the civil rights movement of the '60s, whose intention it was to promote the uniquely American ideal of equality. We certainly don't obsess over him.

Not really. My child is being privately educated; I assume yours is? They are going to need servants someday. Servants need only a public education and to content themselves with trivia.
