Huge part of homeschooling is being politically active. It scales with the responsibility with the age of the kids. But when you remove driving them to/from government school, not paying for sports ball equipment, not paying for sports ball events/all weekend tournaments a family has some time to invest in political calls and visits.
Everyone needs to watch the Supreme Court hearing this Wednesday (12/4/24); United States v. Skrmetti. This is where the states can remove your children from your care for going against "gender affirming care". What would then stop them there and not expand to home schooling.
Doesn't prevent that state from enacting other tyrannical laws that could impact your child. And there's no deterrent, they're still getting your tax dollars.
Home schooling ameliorates the problem, but doesn't solve it.
IMHO, the best solution is to remove yourself from the tax base and move to a state that respects parent's rights. That's how the problem gets solved long term.
Home school. Problem solved.
Until they say you can't do that.
Then the problem comes back.
You need to take a firmer stance than that, always.

No. That’s firm enough.

You stand against tyranny or you get crushed. I’d rather die with my boots on.
But maybe that’s just me. Fuck them all.
Sort of.
