I would suggest that you don't know what you're talking about.
My homeschooled kids got plenty of exposure to popular culture. The difference was that I was able to defuse it by talking to them. They didn't need deprogramming every day after 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, 9-10 months out of the year locked in a public education institution which they weren't permitted to leave without my permission.
Education in public schools is by default secular and godless. They are taught to think that way. Those who come out "OK" are in the vast minority.
“I would suggest that you don’t know what you’re talking about.”
I wonder if they teach manners at public school? Because if you’re responsible for teaching your kids manners, you may want to consider public school for them.
And variables, they may need some assistance there. I didn’t present what I claimed to be an exhaustive list of variables, I simply enumerated a few. You supervising your children’s consumption of popular culture is a huge mitigating factor that one can assume doesn’t happen for a majority of public school students.
But, you have your mind made up, public schools are evil, and produce nothing but godless morons. Don’t allow me to get in the way of your reality.
Children **will** think and reason godlessly. They **must** just to cooperate in the godless classroom, read the godless textbooks, and do their godless homework. How could it be otherwise?
Given the time spent on the bus, in the company of other children, and the godless homework assignments, it adds up to nearly all of the child's waking day. Parents really have precious little time to undo the indoctrination.
If the parents really attempt to deprogram they might just as well homeschool. Deprogramming, if done correctly, is actually **more** work and **more** time consuming that just homeschooling correctly from the start.
