State **compulsion** means threat of armed police and court action if the citizen is sufficiently resistant.
Government schooling is a **compulsory** attendance and **compulsory** funded socialist-entitlement. Children in these indoctrination centers are at risk of learning to be comfortable with socialism. Gee! If the voting mob can give them tuition-free schooling, why not use that same voting mob to get **lots** of “free” stuff?
Government schooling also trains the children to be comfortable with state **compulsion**. If and when true tyranny comes to our nation, the fascists will NOT use cattle cars. They will use big yellow school buses and the steeple will compliantly board them just as their government teachers trained them to do.
Remember: It only took one to three generations of socialist and **compulsory** schooling to give the nation two Roosevelts and Wilson!
By the way, homeschooling is expensive because it most often means that one parent is not working outside the home.
The kind of short comment I print out and study to acquire verbiage to use as my own.
