I definitely believe that’s the case, and it’s a similar case for private schools.

To be clear, I’m in Texas; and there’s been a push here for vouchers for example, and it’s all politically/religiously motivated.

So I’d just say we need to be aware of the bigger picture. The “need” for homeschooling is a red flag, and although for some students it’s a positive choice; for others it has massively negative consequences.

So awareness of those issues, and a powerful right wing religious lobby pushing an agenda shouldn’t be ignored because homeschooling works for some kids.

When these groups lost the battle for teaching creationism in schools, they literally took their textbook and did a “search and replace” with intelligent design.

Luckily that attempt got shot down in court. So they have moved on to vouchers and homeschooling in many states.
