Brett Campbell and Ellen Brown discuss the growing concerns among parents regarding the influence of educational philosophies that emphasise social and political issues in the school curriculum. They delve into the shift from traditional core subjects to more socially driven content, sparking debates about whether this aligns with parents’ values and how it affects children’s development. The discussion also touches on the increasing number of families choosing homeschooling as a response to these concerns, allowing them to control the curriculum and timing of sensitive topics for their children.
