Oh, Freedom by Woke Homeschool

[LongRamblings]

Has anyone used Oh, Freedom curriculum by Woke Homeschool? It is a history curriculum that is supposed to give the other side of history from the perspective of minorities. I would love to know if you have any experience with it and hear your thoughts.

I downloaded the sample, but my kids are on the old side for it. I would love to hear about it if anyone else has information.

I bought it for my rising 5th and 8th graders. I plan to use parts of it as a supplement rather than using the whole thing as-written. The spine, by Howard Zinn, is pretty controversial so I'm planning to use Hakim or another resource that is more middle-of-the-road. There is also some concern about how indigenous people are covered in the program so I'm planning to add to that as well.

I have also heard good things about Blessed Heritage. There aren't samples on the site, so I've inquired of the writer and have yet to hear back. I believe Blessed Heritage's middle school program uses Hakim as the spine.

Okay, so I'm not homeschooling next year, and my kids are a little old for it, but that looks SO cool!  What is the difference between the regular and secular editions?  

I adore Zinn, although I'd probably also want to add in another spine like Hakim to fill in other details.
