publicized stories on national television and in the mainstream media.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It should be obvious that Black parents such as myself are no different than other parents in that we want our children to succeed academically to the best of their potential and we would like their formative years to be free from ungodly influences as much as possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I say shame on those who make Black homeschooling parents feel guilty because we will not allow our children to suffer at the hands of violence and low expectations in the name of racial solidarity.&lt;br

type='text'>Welcome!</title><content type='html'>I created this site to provide the latest news and views about homeschooling with an emphasis on items of interest to Christian African-American homeschoolers.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My mission is to encourage all African-American Christians (I will use this term interchangeably with black on this blog) to consider homeschooling their children as an alternative to the secular alternatives of public and private schools.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe that the future of our race depends on black Christians claiming our rightful place in Christ,living according to Biblical principles and raising our children accordingly.  Homeschooling our children is an ideal way for us to further the cause of African-American education as our schools continue to fail us morally and academically.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please come back often and contribute your thoughts and tips.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12049619-111307666831613608?l=blackchristianhomeschool.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blackchristianhomeschool.blogspot.com/feeds/111307666831613608/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12049619&amp;postID=111307666831613608&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12049619/posts/default/111307666831613608'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12049619/posts/default/111307666831613608'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blackchristianhomeschool.blogspot.com/2005/04/welcome.html' title='Welcome!'/><author><name>Victoria</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='20' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_XMlQyE3-ChE/R8t4RzsRiJI/AAAAAAAAAAM/m9ttoUkBqFI/S220/avt_vcar77_large.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
