SHOW TOPICS:  To have sovereign money, we must have sovereign education.  In today’s episode, we explore sovereign education in Alaska with bitcoin homeschoolers, Wade and Tami.  They are breaking the misconception you can’t homeschool if both parents work.  They have also taken the initiative to organize the 2025 Bitcoin Alaska conference.  So much proof of work!  Check out their story.IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN:Homebridge is one of three options for parents in Juneau, AlaskaDuring the pandemic, Wade and Tami witnessed how poorly the school system was being runA second factor that led to homeschooling was a first-hand experience from political agendas being pushed in public schoolsStart homeschooling with kids as young as possibleWad and Tami do not let their younger children have unsupervised access to digital devicesPsychosis is being actively allowed and taught in public schoolsAn elementary school had a “coming out transgender” party for an eight year old without the knowledge of the kids’ parentsTheir kids are more diverse in terms of being able to socialize with other ages than their public school counterpartsEvery state is different and the Alaska constitution mandates a robust public school systemHomebridge was established during COVIDIt includes a physical location staffed by a teacherKids in the program have access to the public school library, sports and classesParents also get payments to be used on other activities, e.g., karate, ceramics, swimming, online classes, photography,Offering topics outside of what public schools offer is a huge upside to homeschoolingOpened the door for dual-income families to still homeschoolGeographic arbitrage is how Wade described the ability to move to other states … in the long term, parents can vote with their feetTheir kids have been exposed to Bitcoin and even ask to get chore money in bitcoin instead of fiatSociety (thanks to fiat indoctrination) drastically underestimates when kids can learn new material Wade is a Mi Primer Bitcoin light node and teaches their diploma at their local Juneau meetupAlaskan natives are very proud of being sovereign peopleWhat “sovereign education” really meansOne of the hardest things that challenged Wade and Tami was the stigma of what “homeschooling” means, especially when both parents workThere’s a huge lobby from the education union to push kids back into school because they’re losing fundsThe swamp to include the government, NGO’s, unions, other special interests are going to fight harder than ever to protect their gravy train.  Parents must stand up for their rights.  The statists do not care about what is best for the child, nor what is the most effective and efficient method of education.  They care only about keeping power and control.To win the big battle we must remove the money.  That’s the only way long term to win.  The education infinite game.We all have different roles to play in the short and long term games. RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THE SHOW:Twitter @BitcoinAlaskaTwitter @AlaskaBTCHomebridge, https://homebridge.juneauschools.orgGirls on the Run, https://www.girlsontherun.orgHomeschool Defense League, https://hslda.orgMi Primer Bitcoin “Diploma”, https://myfirstbitcoin.io/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/English-BD-2024.pdfKahn Academy, https://www.khanacademy.orgBitcoin Alaska conference, https://bitcoinalaska.orgHAPPY TO HELP:Tali's Twitter @OrangeHatterPodScott's Twitter @ScottLindberg93Scott's nostr npub19jkuyl0wgrj8kccqzh2vnseeql9v98ptrx407ca9qjsrr4x5j9tsnxx0q6Free Market Kids' Twitter @FreeMarketKidsFree Market Kids' games including HODL UP at https://www.freemarketkids.com  WAYS TO SUPPORT:Subscribe, like and share this podcast with others.The intro/extro music is from TipNZ.  Tip educates through her music, exploring the Bitcoin universe with visual storytelling, sick beats & profound lyrics.  https://www.tipnz.com/We are our own sponsors and are so grateful for all of you who support this show.  Thank you!Crazy awesome Collector’s Edition of HODL UP is available at https://www.freemarketkids.com/products/hodl-up-2024-halving-limited-editionVisit our “Free Market Kids“ for products like the Bitcoin mining game, HODL UP  https://www.freemarketkids.com,Check out Tali’s podcast by and for Bitcoin women, “Orange Hatter” https://www.orangehatter.com  Have fun with “Proof of Work Apparel” https://www.freemarketkids.com/collections/proof-of-work-apparelSTANDING RESOURCE RECOMMENDATIONS:Article "Homeschoolers Are Bitcoiners Who Don't Know It Yet" https://bitcoinmagazine.com/culture/parallels-between-homeschool-and-bitcoinTali’s “Quick Start” checklist  https://www.freemarketkids.com/blogs/i-want-to-start-homeschooling/i-want-to-start-homeschooling-quick-start-checklist
