Mrs. Barbara Bush was asked once about homeschooling and said she didn’t think it was a good idea, or something to that effect. This from a woman whose kids all went to expensive private schools.
Yes, the Republican establishment dislikes homeschoolers. I saw that when I worked on a campaign for a Republican running for the Senate. There were 2 distinct camps - the conservatives, including many homeschool teens, who did all the work, and the establishment types, who showed up in the last week when it was apparent our candidate would win, started bossing all the homeschool kids around, and tried to take credit for the win afterwards.

I have gotten to the point where I no longer see “Republicans” as the good guys. Some of them are pretty good, like Ted Cruz, but overall I don’t identify with them.
