I wonder if in the next few decades we'll see an uptick in homeschooling as a reaction to wokeness infecting the schools

Isn't this already the biggest driver of homeschooling? Hardcore Christians that dislike how far towards "wokeness" mainstream education already is compared to their preferences?

I'm not sure but my intuition is no. When I was homeschooled, the biggest driver was reducing exposure to stuff like evolution and premarital sex. My parents today also don't know very much about wokeness, so I assume wokeness hasn't hit christian communities hard yet

Yeah I was thinking of cultural attitudes like "premarital sex is not a massive sin" and similar social mores. If you collapse to a 1D spectrum that's wokewards of xtianity. Forgot about the YEC thing though.
I think the root impulse is similar - Christian and anti-Woke parents both want to avoid the excesses of contemporary progressive politics.

I will homeschool if I can but it’s not about reducing exposure. Rather, it’s about perspective. My kids will know about all the 💩 in the world but they will know about it from a Biblical worldview rather than a secular one.

Hi I think that wokeness is or should be very Christian thing from the very “serve and not be served”? The sermon on the mount?
