Wishful thinking on your part. Why?

The Barna Foundation did a study on children from active evangelical homes. Only 15% were active in their faith 2 years after graduation from the socialist-entitlement high school.

In contrast:
95% of the homeschoolers were active.

Question:

So?....If the results are this bad for children in Christian homes and this **good** for Christian homeschoolers why would you believe it would be different for political and cultural outcomes for those children attending the godless Prog run K-12 schools ( government owned and private) s?

There is also that factor that a modern parent no longer trusts the government school even if he sends his children there. My thesis is that the parents who for any reason at all use the public school system must take it as an obligation to explain to the child that that is enemy territory. I offered no guarantee of success. Maybe 15% succeed, maybe 50%. It would, of course, be much better if the public schools were accountable to the public or abolished altogether.

Observe also that 2 years after graduation from high school is not a reasonable horizon. The homeschooler children still, a certain percentage anyway, go to college where they learn from abortionists doing commencement speeches, clueless professorate and Vagina Monologues. That, to a former public school kid would be no surprise. To a homeschooling kid, it might knock him off his rocker for good.

It would not be better. Political, cultural and religious must not be separated in human makeup as all three form a single human.
