I once met with a Missouri libertarian who was actively trying to defund public schools, and I asked how that would impact his own children. He has nine.
He told me he homeschools them. I said you homeschool them? He said well, my wife…
Yeah.

Cats are smarter💞😺☺️
Which is why so many MAGA are getting burned when Protections they assumed go away.
We know it.
They know it.
This is the way
Law of supply and demand, baby.
I wouldn’t dare let one of those in my house; they’re not housebroken. Both of my girls know how to shit in boxes at least.
When we discover a homeschooled applicant for a job, we trashcan the application. Why? Because we've found these young workers have difficulties working in a team/group
That being said, those few skipped several grades, went to college and were educated by mothers who were themselves well educated.
He lived on a cull de sac. I said, why should my taxes pay for paving what essentially is an extension of your driveway, hydrants that protect your house, streetlights that provide security to
He had no answer.
My definition of "libertarian" is a political ideology that loves "free" government stuff and who don't want to pay for it.

Her husband divorced her& remarried then said he forgave her.
Fuck him! He caused it. She is still in prison
"Oh but that's different"
I know from living in Gambia, a typical libertarian state.
It also depends heavily on foreign aid, & later natl oil revenue. It took 26 years to oust its dictator.
Obviously there is another way. Impeach Trump.
libertarian. A greeditarian.

But what does that say about his wife?
Any kind of schooling can help a bright young mind to doubt the radical thinking of a parent, when the child is smarter than dear old Dad.
The rebellious teen stage often happens for a good reason.
I have met very hidebound Reverends with very open minded kids.
Turn, turn, turn
Poor kids. Poor society.
It's a bunch of grown men crying about how they deserve to be absolved of all responsilbity associated with being a complex life form and just frolick without regard for logic, reason, or consequence.
Every one of them can kiss my arse.
Clearly the answer to both questions is most probably NO!
Everyone deluded envisions Home school like a classical period education from Oxford for the rich.
Thanks for sharing Jess. You are awesome!
Selfish, self-centered, individualistic behavior
We know that education provides kids with many benefits, that go on to benefit the larger community. Not the same thing.
If you don’t want to fund education, take your ass to the woods and live off grid.
You'd THINK they would get a little educated on this...hope they have lots in savings since their SEP is 1/2 of 2024.
This makes calling him “cheeto” sound like a trenchant bon mot
It's each man for himself these days, and I hate it. They won even follow basic rules like not throwing litter or picking up dog poo. Humanity is just awful.
I never had my own children, yet I happily pay school taxes. I value education.
They want everything except responsibility
Socializing
Sports
Commingling
Etc

God forbid, what if something happens to your wife?
Except even then women worked outside the home. Oh, and 50% kids didn’t reach adulthood, and 20% didn’t make it to the age of 5.
Mind your turnips, peasant!!!!!
Does he also support free trade (no tariffs)?
Does he also support open borders (free transit of labor)?
Traditional tenants of libertarianism that contemporary "libertarians" forget.
The older ones teach the younger ones.
The oldest does laundry while watching the youngest.
Future factory workers.
Fundamentalist homeschooling is not the only kind of homeschooling.
Read up on Fundamentalism and stop expecting people on the internet to do your work for you. Your growth and understanding of cultural issues is not the job of strangers online.
Funny how that works - everything we do is "theirs," and everything they do is too.

The duties of government have, by necessity, grown more complicated over the past 250 years. Libertarians must catch up.
