This is a great blog post on Whitewashing that not only goes over what it means, who it affects, and why it matters but also what we can do to instead!
Have you noticed white washing in homeschool material? Let's talk about it.
What Is Whitewashing? (And Why It Matters in Homeschooling)
If you’ve been in progressive homeschool spaces for a while, chances are you’ve run across the word whitewashing—especially in conversations around history and literature. It’s a term that’s often misunderstood or brushed off, but it’s one that deeply impacts how our kids see the world, understand history, and relate to others. So let’s talk about it.

Loving reminder to take a break once in a while.
Set your phone down. Talk to someone you love. Read a book. Bake some bread. The chaos is fully intentional meant to break us down.
Take a step away, get back into a good headspace, then come back refreshed & ready to fuck shit up. We've got this. 💙

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.
Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.
Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Gentle reminder that overwhelming & upsetting us right now is the goal. They want us to get tired & burnt out. Pick a few key issues to focus on & set boundaries for yourself on the rest. Work on building communities. Find some joy & make sure to rest but please don't give up, if you can help it.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Every once in a while I can feel middle/high school me attempting to climb out & post a very "I hate you all, unfriend me pls" post on FB. Then I remember that FB it isn't MySpace.

You know... I have a lot of thoughts but I typically end up typing them out, editing them until they feel right... except they never feel right so I end up deleting the whole thing.
Fun fact: I almost did the same thing with this post.

Y’all it’s rough out here in Central Florida. Been looking for a community of secular homeschoolers & their parents that are inclusive, diverse, not dramatic, & not all older kids and/or littles. I’ve yet to find my people. 😩
