Should homeschooling be banned?

Homeschooling is not only for fundamentalists. It is for anyone who believes that it is more natural for families, rather than governments, to take care of children. Compulsory schooling (don't call it education) is slavery, plain and simple. In addition to operating on the absurd premise that the state is the rightful owner of children, it has been a major factor in the destruction of the family and the deterioration of society. It is bizarre that here in the so-called "free world" a majority of people agree with idea of government control of children from age 5-18.

Of course, it cannot be guaranteed that parents will educate their children well. Even if they don't, that doesn't justify the state requiring schooling. And besides, since when has public school been a positive learning environment? Of course, there are good teachers in public schools, but the system as a whole is profoundly corrupt and anti-freedom.

     I strongly support homeschooling, having been homeschooled myself. Nevertheless, I would like an idiot tax to deal with bigoted fundies using homeschooling to indoctrinate children with their hateful nonsense.

So you really only strongly support homeschooling if the parents believe in the same things you do?
