Some black parents are expressing a preference for remote learning as a means to better “shield their children from racism in classrooms,” an Associated Press (AP) report published Tuesday stated.
One parent, Ayaana Johnson, said racism has been a significant problem in her mostly white town in Georgia, according to the report.
Johnson reportedly said some of the white children in her daughters’ school engage in racial slurs, and there have been Ku Klux Klan flyers found in mailboxes.
She reportedly added the teachers in her daughter’s school are quick to punish or reprimand black children.

Pastors leading black church communities are confirming the surge in the number of black families choosing private, small schools, and homeschooling for their children, and welcoming the opportunity for more involvement in K-12 education by black churches.
Pastor Cecil Blye of More Grace Ministries Church in Louisville, Kentucky, told Breitbart News he and his fellow pastors have seen a surge in homeschooling “among families in black churches in Louisville, as well as a push to start private schools and charter schools by black pastors.”
Blye confirmed a recent report by the U.S. Census Bureau that showed homeschooling rates are rising among black families, in which the proportion of homeschooling in the black community increased from 3.3 percent in spring 2020 to 16.1 percent in fall 2020.
