Like it's mainly just an excuse for parents to not expose their kids to political stuff they don't like?

    I had it easy compared to some of the kids I knew who were also home schooled.

    I would go to a "homeschool group meet up" once every 1-2 months when my parents felt like it. You would spend a day going between hour long "classes" given by different parents in the group.

    One girl had her science lessons rewritten to only be domestic labor and her parents were upset that the science lesson on a meetup day wasn't segregated based on gender. The next time I went, only the boys got to learn about creationism. Women were taught how to be a good wife and serve jesus by serving your husband.

    My mom was very irritated about that (home schooling was her idea, my dad just went along with it) and complained to the group, but was ignored. You'd think she would realize the views of the ideology she was pushing, but she was so obsessed with being the smartest one in the room she walked herself right into fascism by attacking anything she didn't understand instead of just being curious.
