Homeschooling and Racism

Tal Levy

Marygrove College

This article examines the diffusion of homeschooling legislation throughout the 50 states. Event history analysis is used to assess why certain states adopted homeschooling legislation and why some states adopted such legislation earlier than others. Results show that several state-level characteristics are associated with higher odds of enacting homeschooling legislation of which the most noted is state school segregation levels. The data suggest a correlation between racism and the geotemporal diffusion of homeschooling legislation.

Key Words: homeschooling • racism • diffusion studies • event history analysis • segregation
