Fascinating. I didn’t remember the details about the elimination of analogies, only that it had to do with racism.

My children (8, so far, of “school age”) have one year of public schooling completed, and that was Anoreth’s year of community college while she waited to turn 18 and join the Coast Guard.

My Tom’s debate coach had planned to have his children attend a public high school - the best in our city - but after a couple of years of judging debate, he concluded that the academic level of the top public school students in the Carolinas was below what he could achieve with homeschooling, and that the values and worldview being taught were even worse than he had imagined they might face.

I don't doubt that there are some very good public schools out there, but they are few and far between.
