Homeschooling Beyond the Headlines: Who Really Makes Up This Movement?

Here’s the link to the mentioned NYT Article: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/27/style/home-schooling-movement.htmlIn this episode of Continuing Education, we take a thoughtful look at a recent New York Times article spotlighting the Christian conservative homeschooling movement — and challenges the idea that this group alone defines homeschooling in America. Drawing from personal experience and national trends, we explore the rich diversity within today’s homeschool community, from secular and progressive families to neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ affirming households. This episode calls for a bigger, more inclusive tent — one where we choose people over politics and connection over division. If you're homeschooling outside the typical mold, or thinking about joining this movement, you're not alone. Tune in for an honest, hopeful conversation about what homeschooling really looks like today. This is a public episode.
