...not everybody who homeschools does it to form intelligent individuals who have a well rounded education, including the ability to employ critical thinking. Some do it to indoctrinate knee jerk reactionary ideologies into thier kids, in an effort to pass down their superior ignorance to their offspring.

Yeah, but I'm betting the real reason Travolta does it is for security. Can't say I would blame him for that.
The way it came up was that he mentioned he'd taken his daughter for a midnight hang glide, and Dave asked "don't your kids have to go to school?" He said "we homeschool. We make our own hours."

At least most learn it's impolite to insult those of whom one is ignorant.

We're all "indoctrinated" at some point in our life, so it makes sense that those getting it from their parents are the most stable and have higher degrees of success.

BTW...If you happen to be referring to Christianity as "knee jerk reactionary ideologies" then I would suggest that you most likely failed your courses in critical thinking since Christianity has been established for thousands of years!
My twelve year old son would walk circles around you when it comes to critical thinking...
