Just because the other kids make fun of your kid and beat him up is not a good reason to homeschool.

I used to agree with this.
However, I have come to the conclusion that no child should have to face torment and physical abuse daily. Instead of making them stronger, it breaks their spirit and destroys their self esteem.
I watched a friend child go through this kind of bullying, and he became a different child when she finally pulled him out of school.

Plus, “in the real world” an adult would never put up with this kind of abuse.
An adult would be able to sue their employer for harassment, and/or have the person arrested for assault.

Why should our kids get any less protection?

Isn’t it ironic that people put up with and encourage kids in behavior that will land them in prison for assault if done by an adult?

That is true, and very important. Some people remember what school's used to be like, not what they are today. Today a child who has even slightly different viewpoints from the official dogma can be ostracized and face officially sanctioned abuse. That's not helpful for any young person.

No child should face relentless leftist brainwashing daily either.
