    They’re just assigning history textbooks that claim Africans came here voluntarily and were happy to work for white people for no pay.

      As someone who was in Christian Schools/Home-School for my entire education, this is lowkey the real reason. Most won’t (openly) admit it, but the whole Christian school movement was a response to desegregation. Eventually the reasons would grow into “we don’t want our kids being taught Evolution” and now “we don’t want our kids learning that LGBT exist” but the original reason was desegregation and racism.
