I’m on Facebook for only two reasons, to buy and sell goods locally in my town, and to network with homeschoolers like me.
One serious problem I’ve experienced is, and especially in the last month or so, the homeschool groups I’m in have not only grown in numbers by leaps and bounds (school shut-downs) but there is a new sub-type of people in these groups that are literally the worst of the worst. I’m speaking of lgbtq, atheist, religion-hating, pro-antifa, Marxist, Communist, homeschooling parents.
It’s BAD.
And what’s worse, is that these sick people are now dominating the forums with the most vile and hateful insults against people for their beliefs. Specifically, Christianity. And they are aggressively going after American and World History, those seem to be the main targets.
Average homeschooling parents try to post questions in the groups, looking for history, or religious resources, and they are quickly pounced on by three or more of these antifa-types.
I had this happen to me, and had 10 of them after me at once.
Their battle cry: false history, the evil Christians, Jesus wasn’t a real person, racism, bigotry, Columbus stealing land and slaughtering innocent people.
And if you dare try to defend choosing your own curriculum for own children, it gets worse. They don’t let up and they angrily, and personally attack anyone who tries to take a stand for themselves. And guess what, while all this happens, admins are silent. They allow this nastiness and hatred to continue unhinged. And these homeschool groups have been well established and respected by homeschoolers for many years.
The admins used to shut down or delete any mean or hateful comments. And they still will, but not the antifa’s comments, they are immune.
They’re afraid of them.
And this has nothing to do with the company Facebook, other than they will ignore you if you flag a comment, but this is the groups themselves, as the admins are still responsible for their own forums.
I’m in other groups that absolutely would not tolerate this type of behavior. But here these jokers get the mic in the bigger groups.
Today I was kicked out the largest homeschool resource group on FB. Because I stood up and tried to defend not only Christ, but the parents right to choose the history or religious curriculum of their choice.
The admins got rid of me because I caused ‘waves’ and ‘drama’. But the atifas get to jump down people’s throats and scream ‘racism’, and ‘hate’, at people for daring to school a way other than how they *think*.
And this is only Facebook. I’d hate to think what’s happening in homeschool support groups and co-ops that meet in person.
I’ve never seen anything like this. Everyone has lost their minds.
Hardly anyone cares anymore.
Serious persecution is coming and soon.
I weep for my children.
