Abeka and Pensacola Christian were not integrated until the 1970s, and have lied about their desegregation story for decades. Their profiteering of segregation gave them the means to start an empire.
Amazingly well researched and well written article. Crazy to me that this really isn't that long ago, but yet, we are seeing a surge of reality-denial these days too so I guess nothing should surprise me. Thank you for sharing.
This is my new "Roman Empire " 😂 I grew up in Maine. I went to a private christian school until I was homeschooled with this curriculum going into grade 5 and later ACE curriculum 🤦♀️. As a person of color just now learning the truths about the civil rights movement and the real History of the Country it has been heart wrenching knowing that so much of that truth was not only hidden from me through this curriculum, but done so in the name of God in order to seal it as divine truth and unquestionable. It is shameful and scary how easy it is to spin things to fit an agenda. Thank you for the research and time put into this information and for giving all the references! Reading this was validating and healing for me!
I was homeschooled exclusively by ABeka and Bob Jones textbooks. Do you know when I discovered that Clarence Thomas was NOT the first Black justice on the Supreme Court? It was during my 1st semester of law school. I was so ashamed when I found out my utter lack of knowledge of the Civil Rights legend Thurgood Marshall... but the people who should have been ashamed were the ones who wrote my textbooks.
I went there k-12. I was expelled 2 weeks before graduation. I was an asshole, but so was the administration at PCA. With that said, to this day, all my asshole, Marxist, tattooed, atheist friends who have kids, send them there, or use beka homeschooling. Maybe public schools around here are just that shitty, but as far as education and safety goes, PCA is the best in town, and kids from all over the world go there. Probably the most diverse classroom you'll ever see before college. I was friends with kids from Nigeria, Ukraine, Columbia, Egypt, Japan, Italy, India, there were even Muslims there. Teachers from Russia, Transylvania (what an accent) Saudi Arabia, Ireland, Congo, It was wild.
Whatever the segregation situation was in the 60s, PCAs' inclusiveness and diversity is top notch now.
