______________
Black Homeschooling is the localized development of an empowering, specialized educational program for Black children, Black educators, and Black parents. Black Homeschooling teaches children how to foster Black Excellence in the social, political, and economic spheres. Black Families who adopt homeschooling as an educational choice practice autonomy from a Progressive educational system that often stifles Black students’ emotional, intellectual, spiritual, physical, and financial well-being. In essence, Black Homeschooling embraces the unique qualities found in the Black American Experience while delivering wholesome, holistic curricula that prepare Black youth for real-world experience and success. - Coach Felecia Killings, author of Black Homeschooling: A Conscious Black Conservative Approach to Building New Educational Systems for Black Families in Alliance with Conservative Politics (2024)

Since the Pandemic, we've witnessed a sharp rise in Black families and homeschooling. As recent data report:
There’s no single motivating factor driving Black families to homeschool. But those who spoke to the Guardian described being fed up with a public school system that disproportionately punishes Black children, relies heavily on standardized testing and lacks diverse representation in the literature and history books their children are given. As the number of Black families turning to homeschooling grows, they are simultaneously creating communities that allow Black children to learn in a culturally affirming environment, free from the punitive approach of traditional schools.

According to data from the US Census Bureau’s Household Pulse Survey, there was a dramatic rise [in homeschooling] after the start of the pandemic from an estimated 5.4% of school-aged children homeschooling in spring 2020 to 11.1% the following school year. The number of Black families increased more than five times over – from 3.3% to 16.1% – a bigger jump than any other racial group. (Source)
Today, more and more parents are looking for ways to reclaim their children's education by returning to pure Black Conservative principles that include:
