Haven’t some of the school districts in *BLUE* cities and countries tried (and maybe succeeded) in preventing parents from homeschooling their kids? I figure that’s the next tactic.
A good start would be eliminating the Dept. of Education
College Ed Depts have been labs for social engineering since the 60’s.
I pulled both my teens out of public school last year—one to private and one to homeschooling. The pandemic closures were just the final straw.
My daughter will be homeschooling her 3 kids if they mandate the shots for school

When I was still a school student, I noticed that whenever parents and teachers would talk about students they would speak in abstract clinical terms. It could be pretty maddening that the adult world would only look at you as a lab rat under development.
Vouchers would solve a lot of the problem. Vouchers would also put private school education within the reach of middle and working class families instead of just the upper middle class on up who can afford private schools now.
Imagine if parents could apply market forces to their children’s education. Crappy teachers? Political indoctrination rather than education? Failing test scores for students at a particular school? Pull your kid out and select a new school to get that voucher money. If enough parents do that, a particular school that is crappy gets no funding and goes under. Crappy teachers find their jobs are gone.
Vouchers are popular with everybody but the teachers’ union and the Democrat Party which they support. That includes Blacks that includes Hispanics by the way. The Republicans should be pounding this issue over and over again. They should be pro choice when it comes to education.
In the late 90’s when we started, I dubbed homeschooling “the counter culture of the 90’s”, right here on Free Republic. It has grown so mainstream it is no longer a counter culture, it is a growing part of American culture.

I don’t have kids but if I did they would be in private school or home schooled.
It means a large part of a generation not indoctrinated by leftist design.
They're not worried.
The plan is right on track.
