If home schooling worked to effectively prepare our children for the realities of life, Felon47 would not currently be infesting the Oval Office.

A well-rounded, free PUBLIC education is best for our children and society at large.

The cult of home schooling dismantles society.

Does that mean we give up on public education on a whole? No. But for some, it's not an option until we can fix it.

And families of all types are worried about gun violence in schools.

POC families don't feel good about sending their kids to school when the books with characters who look like them get banned from school libraries at alarming rates.

A lot of secular homeschoolers are homeschooling precisely because of the current political environment. Parents of queer kids in states with "Don't Say Gay" laws feel unsafe sending kids to schools that aren't allowed to support them.

3.4% of kids being homeschooled (https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2025/02/20/a-look-at-homeschooling-in-the-us/) is not to blame for all ills of society. Homeschooling families are not a monolith of Christian nationalists. Some of us are very much on the opposing side of everything MAGA/DOGE is doing.

Changes in public schools move at a glacial speed, and not necessarily in the liberal progressive direction. I am not sacrificing my children's K-12 education waiting for change. I have the resources to curate a well-rounded, academically rigorous education that is best for them.

But what about getting into college?

It's literally not an issue! Many colleges/unis value homeschoolers because they know how to study independently and often have already gained experience in their intended major.
