TPT, You Are Cancelled (or I cancelled myself, whatever!)

I'm sharing a personal experience today and how I am reacting to it. Thank you for those that have always been supportive of me. I am here to support you and love creating and sharing resources. I want to continue to do so. Here is my Etsy store below. I'll be moving my products there for the time being. Unfortunately, Etsy does not allow me to post free products. I'll be working on figuring out another option so I can continue to share free resources with you.

From one content creator to another, I totally support and agree with your decision. I use McGuffey’s as well and was so happy to find your copy work. I’ve been handwriting them for years and was going to make my own, but now I don’t have to! Thank you and I will be purchasing from you from now. Blessings! ❤

[@landofkakiakahomeschool]

Oh thank you so much! I love your channel btw! I will be putting things on Etsy this week that aren't up already. I truly appreciate the kind words.

[@RevivalAcres]

@@landofkakiakahomeschool I’m so glad! Will you be adding the bundle option? I was about to purchase it on TPT the day your video launched. Or maybe we can do a collab!

[@landofkakiakahomeschool]

@@RevivalAcres They haven't closed my store yet if you want to buy it now. I had to turn in a ticket so it's all still there for now. Also, I'd love to do a collab! I've never done anything like that though so you'd have to explain everything to me lol!

[@alegracorey1918]

You are such a blessing to us! thank you for calling out TPT. I will follow you wherever you go! you have made my homeschool so peaceful. I watched a 12 year old boy read a graphic novel that was absolutely horrible to the school board. that is ok but not Columbus. you go girl! love you

[@landofkakiakahomeschool]

I saw that boy too! It made me sick. Thank you for saying that. I appreciate you!

[@chrys77cross]

I am "Indian." Not offended. So, so sorry that you and your small business are being censored. God bless you for sticking to your convictions! I am ordering your copywork booklet on Etsy right now. I have the original McGuffey set that I ordered because I read that Laura Ingall's Wilder used this set to learn and I love the LHOTP books. And I am currently homeschooling my 7 and 6 year old with 3 more up and coming students. I have pieced together a different LA curriculum but I would like to move completely to Mcguffey's and I think your copywork books will work out perfect

[@jessepage318]

Can't wait to see whatever website you choose. Your resources are very helpful.

[@boxlove7283]

I’m glad to know you too! I can’t say I’m shocked about TPT, but yet disgusted. I just can’t get behind the agenda and the indoctrination going on. Good for you Laurel! I’m sure we all will support you wherever you choose.

[@landofkakiakahomeschool]

Thank you!

[@rebeccat9389]

Can you give me an example of a piece that teaches CRT? CRT is usually only taught in law school at a college level.

[@annamary8884]

Thank you so much for alerting us to the TpT agenda. Love your resources and praying you can find a solution soon.

[@landofkakiakahomeschool]

Thank you! It may be a blessing in the end.

[@Mamasimple]

I will continue to support you and use and recommend your resources. Things are really getting ridiculous! As a Mexican-Dominican I was not offended by any of that and in fact am happy and thankful for the conquest. They brought the Christian Faith to us! Had that not happened, I wouldn't be here for having been cannibalized or sacrificed to false gods/demons! How's that for going against community standards TPT! On another note, I was going to download your updated sequences and didn't get to before this video, are they listed on ETSY now? Some other homeschoolers I follow are using payhip, maybe you can look into that?

[@landofkakiakahomeschool]

Thank you so much for your support! It means a lot to me. I am thankful that the Romans brought Christianity to my people back on the island all those generations ago too, even though I'm sure my ancestors at the time were not happy about being invaded. Oh neat suggestion! I've never heard of payhip. I will check it out. I am going to post an updated resource sequence but first I have to list all the resources on it and update the links in the document because of the platform change. I'll be working like mad this week! lol! I'll definitely put a video up when I finish that.

[@Mamasimple]

@@landofkakiakahomeschool Thank you!

[@PerseveranceMama]

So good to know! Thank you! 😢

[@cassiepauley8973]

So is this Robison Curriculum you have printed out? I have looked at using them before, but I not sure I want to use Saxon.

[@landofkakiakahomeschool]

Sustainable homeschooling was not RC but it was the products of an RC parent. I tried Saxon and it was not a fit for my oldest so we've switched to Right Start Math ourselves. You don't have to follow RC to a T to get a lot of benefit from it. It is a completely different method of homeschooling. I personally create my own little bridge system into it.

[@threatlevelmidnight3588]

I would consider myself a lot more liberal (my friends call me woke 🤣) than the people I surround myself with. My husband is NativeAmerican. Even with all that said, TPT saying this is offensive is completely baffling. I asked my husband and FIL, and they are confused as well. 🤔🤷🏼‍♀️ Please keep us updated on where we can purchase your items. I'm in the middle of planning the upcoming school year with 3 boys, and I want to get some of your bundles. Sorry this happened to you. I love your content and channel! ♥️

[@landofkakiakahomeschool]

Thank you! I definitely will.

[@alegracorey1918]

can you create a homeschool resource platform?

[@landofkakiakahomeschool]

I think I will work on a website this week. 🙂

[@ablamahamdeh8298]

Good for you! Sad to see you go! Good luck!! Cant wait to see your resources elsewhere! you got this!

[@landofkakiakahomeschool]

Thank you! I've been working all week so far on moving things over to Etsy. It's a bit of a chore! lol!

[@kazmynjohannes5163]

❤way to stand your ground

[@mytreasuredlife4993]

So does this mean that what was bought from you will be gone too?

[@landofkakiakahomeschool]

Well, if you buy something you'll have the digital file to save but if you have any issue just let me know and I'll make it right.

[@GisellaHoward]

@@landofkakiakahomeschool Thank you! I do own a few of your items :)

[@searchthescripturesdaily]

The bible can tell you that account of corn is incorrect. I've reproved the original McGuffeys for something that did not line up with scripture. I'm not familiar with the revised.

[@jmsilhavy]

Thank you for sharing this. I have contemplated sharing content there (I don't have anything yet, but it was a thought). I probably won't be anymore. I think it might be the term "Indian" corn that was flagged. I know when I was teaching we weren't able to use that word in the school I taught in. We had to use the term "Native American" instead. Please do not rewrite the copy, but it is my opinion as to why it was flagged. I love McGuffey's readers, but they were written over 100 years ago before many words became offensive. As far as your website goes, there are a lot of free website platforms you can use. Personally I like WordPress and have been using it for over a decade.

[@threatlevelmidnight3588]

Is there a way you could share your email and we can reach out to you directly to you to purchase an item and it can be emailed to us? Maybe pay through PayPal , venmo, or something like that.

[@landofkakiakahomeschool]

Yes, I could do that too! If you message me on Instagram (duchess of kakiak) I will share that with you.

[@threatlevelmidnight3588]

​@landofkakiakahomeschoolcha1973 thanks! I accidentally double posted my comment on this video. Sorry. Lol

[@momvanup]

I'm JUST starting TPT! OH NO!!

[@landofkakiakahomeschool]

Just my opinion but I'd take my talents elsewhere if you don't want to work and make money for a woke company. Check out what is allowed on the site. Search Critical Race Theory and Queer.

[@madocyrix]

I also get banned without further notice. They sent an email of what is inappropriate then bom, my account cancelled in a matter of two hours. I tried to reach out for further complaints but no reply till this moment since 15th Feb, this year.

[@landofkakiakahomeschool]

Wow

[@yeseniacruz6445]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 to your response! Thank you for calling them out! You’re the only store I ever purchased from on that website anyway! Excited to see where we can follow you to! God bless you!!

[@landofkakiakahomeschool]

Thank you! I really appreciate the support.

[@chrisandchristinawong7617]

🤦🏻‍♂️ what insanity

[@arlenek6797]

Finally another store disgusted with TPT. Randomly shutting down stores without warning! no wonder so many are dong their own sites.

[@homeschool.pray.repeat]

Why am I not shocked TPT is woke. 🙄

[@landofkakiakahomeschool]

right? anything to do with the education industry is sus.

[@LeslieMarks12345]

I am on TPT - So Woke, this is ridiculous. What's next?

[@landofkakiakahomeschool]

Just disassociating from these entities that only allow one viewpoint and live our lives morally to witness to others.

[@kinderjenni]

There are other places to sell: create Your Homeschool, Made by Teachers, Classful just to name 3 ❤ in sorry that happened to you.

[@landofkakiakahomeschool]

I'm over on Etsy now, where they leave me alone lol!

[@francinebaron2158]

How is CRT offensive? Why shouldn’t it be allowed on TPT? Controversial perhaps but “offensive” threw me off.

[@landofkakiakahomeschool]

Hi. I almost didn't reply because this doesn't seem like a sincere question but what the heck. Why not? CRT is just a vehicle for racism, jealousy, pride and hate. All these things I find "offensive." If you are struggling with these sins (we all struggle with sin) and recognizing them as sin that needs to be repented of I would only lovingly point you to the message of Jesus from Matthew. "Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets." and from Genesis “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.” and from Galatians “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” This is the "theory" I stand with. God bless you with ears to hear and eyes to see, my friend. Thanks for the question.

[@abbyc.4215]

My thoughts exactly!

[@LeslieMarks12345]

This is censorship!

[@landofkakiakahomeschool]

So lame right!

[@samanthatran1581]

WOKE is broke.

[@landofkakiakahomeschool]

🤣

[@linchuc6130]

O mein they're totally libertardians. What about your duchess of kakiak. Maybe you can do links to where people can buy your stuff. Good luck.

[@landofkakiakahomeschool]

Yes, I may go back and try to build out from there!
