You have a point but the problem I see is denying the holocaust and contrasting public and home schooled children are not quite the same thing.
The only reason I can see to “defend” homeschooling is the possibility that if we don’t it might be possible that some might try and take that right away. Otherwise I am happy to have those ignorant of homeschooling live long and sad lives ignorant of the advantage they could be giving their kids. Course that is assuming that they are not so selfish that they would be willing to spend the time with their kids.
Re: Socialization...I agree wholeheartedly with others that I don’t want my kids “socialized” by the brats, thugs and left wing teachers roaming the schools these days. But even more importantly I believe that having an extremely close knit family gives my kids advantages that others can only dream of. After all how many 7 year olds are able to confidently travel by themselves to Manhattan to visit their Aunt?
You should worry about all the kids in public school - they grow up and vote Democrat in increasing numbers.
Do you think a populace of dumbed-down sheeple is a good thing, as long as “some families” homeschool ?
You might want to buy that compound now and begin filling the bunker with supplies, because “they” will be coming for your money, your property, and your rights.
Why do you think the 2006 Congress went Democrat ? Because unthinking people ignorant of consequences never thought beyond voting out the incumbent corrupt politicians, and did not think about the likelihood of the incoming crop being as bad or worse.
Sorry, but you sound like the manager who surrounds himself with lesser intellects just to make the manager look like a genius. I, OTOH, prefer surrounding myself with the smartest people I can find so that we all prosper.
You really need to read a history of public schooling in this country in order to appreciate why it is important to defend homeschooling. By doing so you are defending liberty and individualism versus collectivism and big government.
