'Ed-exit' to Protect Your Kids from Critical Race Theory
Parents across the country are fighting to
stop government schools from indoctrinating their children with
Critical Race Theory. Critical Race Theory is a form of Marxism
that focuses on the "oppression" of racial minorities. Central to
Critical Race Theory is the belief that free markets are a tool
of racial oppression that must be abolished and replaced with
socialism.

This is dangerous nonsense. History shows
that governments, not free markets, are and always have been the
instruments of racial oppression. For example, legislators passed
Jim Crow laws because private businesses refused to voluntarily
segregate their customers.

Numerous scholars have documented how the
welfare state and the war on drugs, as well as minimum wage laws,
occupational licensing laws, and other anti-liberty laws,
disproportionately harm minorities. Some of these laws were
passed with the explicit goal of protecting white workers from
competition with minorities.

Public outrage over teaching children that
the only way to overcome racism is to sacrifice liberty helped
build efforts to pass laws banning the teaching of Critical Race
Theory. Some of these efforts are accompanied by advancing
mandates that schools promote a "positive" or "patriotic" view of
America. This can replace one form of indoctrination with
another.

A "patriotic" curriculum could teach children
that the change from a constitutional republic to a
welfare-warfare state was a victory for liberty. It could also
teach that the American government is morally justified in, and
capable of, managing the economy at home and spreading democracy
abroad. It could teach children lies like capitalism caused the
Great Depression.

Instead of arguing over what form of statism
government schools should indoctrinate children in, liberty
activists should work to replace government control of education
with parental control.

The key to this is to restore parental
control of education dollars though education tax credits and
tax-free education savings accounts. This can enable parents to
afford to "ed-exit" from government schools by sending their
children to private schools. It can also help parents afford the
costs associated with homeschooling. Increased charitable
deductions can help fund private education for low-income
families. Tax credits can be implementing without increasing the
deficit by tying them to legislation closing the Department of
Education.

Homeschooling is an increasingly attractive
option for many parents. Parents interested in providing their
children with a quality education should consider my
homeschooling curriculum. The Ron Paul Curriculum provides
students with a well-rounded education that includes rigorous
programs in history, mathematics, and the physical and natural
sciences. The curriculum also provides instruction in personal
finance. Students can develop superior communication skills via
intensive writing and public speaking courses. Another feature of
my curriculum is that it provides students the opportunity to
create and run their own businesses.

The government and history sections of the
curriculum emphasize Austrian economics, libertarian political
theory, and the history of liberty. However, unlike government
schools, my curriculum never puts ideological indoctrination
ahead of education.

Interactive forums ensure students are
engaged in their education and that they have the opportunity to
interact with their peers outside of a formal setting.

I encourage all parents looking at
alternatives to government schools - alternatives that provide
children with a well-rounded education that introduces them to
the history and ideas of liberty without sacrificing education
for indoctrination - to go to RonPaulCurriculum.com for more
information about my homeschooling program.

For Liberty,

Ron Paul
Chairman
