Does organic learning mean you simply skip subjects that don't pertain to living matter? I guess that is why I have never heard of organic algebra.

It means seeking knowledge on your own about what interests you and pertains to your life and future career endeavors. It is learning free from compulsion (education) that occurs with a desire from within as opposed to memorizing biased information and feeding it back to teachers.

Incidentally, I am not afraid.

I don't see how government programming of children is funny or the product we see today with so many who can't think freely, independently or for themselves but only what they have been taught/programmed. No matter what side of the political spectrum one is I don't see how sending kids to an institution to be programmed is a good thing.
