Basically, I would agree to more stringent controls on homeschooling only if those controls applied to schools as well.

You sure are eager to bargain away my rights as an American and for what? You’re trying to decide what my kids learn and it’s none of your concern. Are you one of those moderate conservatives that have contributed to flushing my rights as a free American?

Nope. I am just using political ju jitsu -- making a reasonable-sounding condition that is impossible to meet, if examined. The liberals use this all the time.

Think about it -- could you really get a public school system to shut down a school and fire all the faculty if a small fraction of the students failed? Of course not. So how can it be fair (liberals love that word) to hold individual homeschoolers to a higher standard than the government?
