I like Savage a lot but have to disagree with him here. Yesterday was our local home school associations annual BBQ. There were probably 50 kids there, all very well adjusted socially, very polite, kind, intelligent, etc. Even my own kid surprised me in his social skills. Had I known Savage's position I would have invited him to the BBQ.
Savage is for homeschooling young children--his point was that when children reach 12 or so they have to learn how to deal with the rude, ammoral brats in the world who dominate this planet now. He said that the wise parents would send them to the school AND be there when they came home so that they could deprogram them after the indoctrination of each day. His father did that to him and he claims that is how he learned to reason and be able to spot the inconsistencies in the liberal doctrine. You CAN overprotect your children so that they are too shocked by the real world and can't function in it--I have seen it happen to a few kids. Don't jump on me because I ADMIRE people who homeschool--I've done it myself, BUT Savage thinks facing the hordes and having to deal with them on a daily basis can make you incredibly strong--so that they can be like Savage and not be reduced to tears if someone calls them a homophobe or racist or whatever. It is not pleasant out there when you have to make a living, etc.
