Homeschooling 101 | Are You Teaching Science or Scientism?
As #homeschooling parents, we have the advantage of teaching our children how to weigh evidence and seek out both sides of an issue – something not really offered in a public school environment. Now, more than ever, we’re faced with the indoctrination of the populace by a group of technocrats who believe more in agenda than truth.
Are you teaching your kids the difference?
Scientism, Hypothetical History, and Homeschooling
Have you ever heard of scientism? Scientism is when science becomes a religion for some, and when certain topics become taboo to question. It’s when scientists declare “the science is settled” when in fact, true science is NEVER settled.
It’s when social media platforms shut down certain subjects in an effort to suppress debate.
It’s when scientific theories that have never been proven are pushed by authorities and mainstream science as being 100% true.
Unfortunately, most of the science being taught to children today falls under this category. Even homeschoolers aren’t always safe.
The same holds true for what I call hypothetical history. There’s much about history, especially ancient history, that we really don’t have concrete answers to, yet we are consistently having only one point-of-view impressed upon us – that which is most convenient to the status quo.
As homeschool parents, it is up to us to teach our children the critical thinking skills that are sorely lacking in the world today. It’s up to us to teach our children to seek out and weigh ALL evidence, not just that which is handed to us.
In today’s world, this has become more important than ever.
