info_outlineEpisode 16 features W.C. Newsom, who is the creator of The Christendom Curriculum. If you recall, Newsom was my very first guest on the show. He and his family tirelessly work to advocate for truly conservative and traditional homeschooling - a field of battle that leftists are taking a bit more of everyday. But Newsom always shows up for the fight. He returns to give us some updates about the growth of his curriculum, as well as the predictable woke pushback to his educational materials, which he describes as “pro-West, anti-social justice, anti-multicultural, and anti-globalist.”
I also get Newsom’s expert take on a few issues that may seem minor but are what I see as increasing and powerful white-guilt chinks in the armor of non-PC home education. Am I overreacting? Possibly. Or am I just seeing the puritanical-progressive writing on the wall. We’ll try to sort some of that out.
Newsom is a homeschool dad to seven children, husband of 27 years, proud Southerner, and Reformed Christian. He’s a leftism resistor, a brilliant and bold warrior for faith, family, and tradition, and an unReconstructed compatriot with whom I’m proud to be in the trenches.
Mentioned in our discussion are the HSLDA’s essay “Homeschooling: Bridging the academic achievement gap” and Newsom’s recent Battle Paper “Monument desecration and the 5th Commandment” published at Identity Dixie. Some of my related essays are “The antidote for the therapeutic state,” “Puritans, part 5: Redeeming the time,” and “Homeschooling is counter to progressive values,” and “Totalitarians, t-shirts, and tirades, oh my!”
Newsom has a professional background in writing, editing, and creating training materials. He’s written or contributed to 10 books, including “The Nicholas Book: A Legend of Santa Claus,” “Polycarp: The Crown of Fire,” and "Talking of Dragons: The Children's Books of J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis,” and created class sessions on Shakespeare, Tennyson, Hemingway, and others for another popular Western Civilization homeschool curriculum.
