00:00:00.000 How does the AFA recommend parents teach certain portions of history to their children,
00:00:05.220 which are commonly weaponized by the, in quotes, the other side, such as American slavery, MLK,
00:00:12.720 and so on? We're homeschooling my stepdaughter, and I'm trying to think of ways to approach these
00:00:17.420 topics in an honest and reasonable way. Thanks. Svon, you may have some experience on this.
00:00:23.820 What say you? And my children are also homeschooled, and I think that one of the biggest
00:00:29.400 things you can do about expanding the scope a lot of times you can follow it back to jekyll island 0.92
00:00:35.960 off the coast of georgia with the rockefellers trying to make their perfect little workers
00:00:41.640 and that's the education system or dewey you can focus in on him no matter what at the end of the 0.98
00:00:47.480 day it is hyper focused for purpose and what i find is to open the sky so you know when it comes
00:00:55.320 to things like slavery you know i the first slave owner in virginia was a west african i bring that
00:01:04.200 up quite the the ownership of p as as a practice was common uh you know talking about the barbary
00:01:11.400 pirates talking about the ottoman empire letting my children know that like slavery was a practice
00:01:17.640 and was ended by the west but that it goes further than the way it's just kind of portrayed so you
00:01:25.240 You open up that scope, you open up the scope that the Trail of Tears, so they never paint them in it.
00:01:31.480 They show the Cherokee kind of lamenting as they're moving, but there was like 500 slaves with them.
00:01:36.980 And 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.
00:01:48.340 And that was because he didn't want his people to lose their property.
00:01:53.660 And so what's really going on is about opening a scope of things.
