Kirk Cameron’s New Documentary Explores World of Homeschooling

Thanks to virtual schooling during the COVID-19 pandemic, parents were horrified to discover the radical lesson plans their children's activist teachers were teaching. Lessons on critical race theory and on sexual orientation and gender identity caused parents to realize they would have to take their kids' education into their own hands.

Post-pandemic, the homeschool boom hasn't let up, as parents realize they can effectively teach their children and guide their education in a way that aligns with their values.

Christian actor and filmmaker Kirk Cameron wants to demonstrate how freedom-loving Americans can best start their own homeschool journeys with his new documentary film "The Homeschool Awakening."

"No one loves [your kids] more than you do as a mom and dad, and no one's better positioned to teach them. You've been doing it since Day One," says Cameron. "You taught them how to walk. You taught them how to talk. At the end of the day, whoever controls the textbooks has possession of the future, either for good or for evil."

Cameron joins the show to discuss his new documentary, and help parents understand how they can best embark on their own homeschooling journey.
