There’s a couple of communist states on that list. Surprising.

Think about this...every homeschool kid increases the available dollars/pupil for the govt schools. And that's what they really care about.

Yes, but the opposite is the case as well. For most school districts, Federal and state funding is tied to public school enrollment — which is why most public school bureaucrats hate private schools and homeschooled kids.

That's exactly backwards. Every homeschooled student decreases the money to the public school by the amount of their per-pupil funding.

That is why both the NEA and the AFT wage war against homeschoolers in every legislature across the country.
