In this episode, we discuss the importance of expanding the scope of our understanding of history and the role of the AFA in educating our children on topics such as American slavery, MLK, and the Civil War.
00:00:00.000How does the AFA recommend parents teach certain portions of history to their children,
00:00:05.220which are commonly weaponized by the, in quotes, the other side, such as American slavery, MLK,
00:00:12.720and so on? We're homeschooling my stepdaughter, and I'm trying to think of ways to approach these
00:00:17.420topics in an honest and reasonable way. Thanks. Svon, you may have some experience on this.
00:00:23.820What say you? And my children are also homeschooled, and I think that one of the biggest
00:00:29.400things you can do about expanding the scope a lot of times you can follow it back to jekyll island0.92
00:00:35.960off the coast of georgia with the rockefellers trying to make their perfect little workers
00:00:41.640and that's the education system or dewey you can focus in on him no matter what at the end of the0.98
00:00:47.480day it is hyper focused for purpose and what i find is to open the sky so you know when it comes
00:00:55.320to things like slavery you know i the first slave owner in virginia was a west african i bring that
00:01:04.200up quite the the ownership of p as as a practice was common uh you know talking about the barbary
00:01:11.400pirates talking about the ottoman empire letting my children know that like slavery was a practice
00:01:17.640and was ended by the west but that it goes further than the way it's just kind of portrayed so you
00:01:25.240You open up that scope, you open up the scope that the Trail of Tears, so they never paint them in it.
00:01:31.480They show the Cherokee kind of lamenting as they're moving, but there was like 500 slaves with them.
00:01:36.980And they were, you know, the last Confederate general was a Native American Cherokee Indian who was fighting to the bitter end that even Robert E. Lee had to tell him to put down his sword.
00:01:48.340And that was because he didn't want his people to lose their property.
00:01:53.660And so what's really going on is about opening a scope of things.
