That is exactly what I've seen, to keep kids in their brainwashing bubble.

Where I live in the Midwest that is absolutely the case. The homeschool "groups" are almost all religiously oriented in some way.

Lived in the Midwest too when I was younger, wasn't till I grew up that I saw how religiously linked it all was.

You are light gray but creating a bubble is actual expressed reason for many home schoolers like with young earth creationists.
