There's A Literal White Nationalist 'Curriculum' For Home Schoolers
White history for white nationalists to teach their kids about white supremacy for white nationhood.
By Rebekah Sager — December 28, 2021


Designed for ages 4 and up, the School of the West bills itself as an online educational resource for home-schooling families. White families, that is.

The focus is on the study of “white wellbeing,” within a curriculum of history, math, science, and the arts designed for “Westernkind,” meaning white boys and girls, according to the site, to help them “develop self-esteem” and “the truth of their heritage.”

The school additionally links to the Institute of Historical Review, which according to the Southern Poverty Law Center published numerous antisemitic materials and hosted a Holocaust denial conference in 2004.

It could be easy to ignore this obviously racist, homophobic, and xenophobic “school” as just another extremist with loony ideas of indoctrinating kids. But the reality is after a term under former President Donald Trump, this is a reverberation of his and his followers’ acceptance of white nationalist ideas gone mainstream.

“Our political environment is more receptive to this sort of messaging at the moment,” Amy Cooter, a sociologist who studies white nationalism and grew up in a private Southern Baptist church school with connections to far-right home-schooling groups, told The Daily Beast.

“White nationalists are interested in creating their own parallel society,” Sophie Bjork-James, an anthropologist who studies white nationalist communities, explains to The Daily Beast. “Educating children in white-supremacist values is part of this plan ... White nationalists understand that exposing their children to multicultural curricula can lead to a rejection of their beliefs.”

Look no further than the push to remove books by Black and brown authors in states such as Virginia and Texas.

2. How do we protect ourselves from people who are inculcated with these beliefs?

Especially when there is so much evidence of white privilege already?

White nationalism was the reason for homeschooling, was happening back in the 1990s in Idaho and surrounding states.
