BTW, you've mentioned creating a HS curriculum several times. While I don't have any experience with curriculum development, I'm wondering why a curriculum in use in a private school that emphasizes the classics/Western canon, wouldn't be adequate for White families. For many subjects, using textbooks written prior to the 1960's would be valuable, IMO.
I'm sure it would be good, but I'm also sure it would not emphasize the specifically racial nature and context the student needs to know. That stuff was more or less assumed. At most you would find Christian moral lessons woven in, possibly some up-with-British-imperialism. Neither of these is what we need.
