The only difference between public school and home school curricula is home schooled kids aren’t taught to hate, mutilate, and kill themselves.
Unless their parents decide to teach them those things.
In which case, every sane person would agree those parents belong in prison.
Which leads to the inescapable logical conclusion that all parents who still refuse to home school should be imprisoned for child endangerment.

Does this mean that you are promoting terrorist acts against public schools in order to "make them unsafe"? Or is this just bullshit. The fact is that many who homeschool their kids want them to remain ignorant of knowledge they would like to censor. This includes facts about the world, about humans, their origins, about sexuality. Academic studies have also demonstrated that the books used for homeschooling are often suboptimal, limiting the development of thinking skills. Were you homeschooled to come up with such nonsense?
I hope in the future that the note "homeschooled" on an applicant's resume will result in automatic rejection.
I had the job of screening resumes decades ago, and company policy was to reject homeschoolers out of hand. "Knowledge gaps" and "don't play well with others" were among the reasons given.

Wow... I'm surprised that anyone would believe that it'd be a good thing to mention in their resume. I didn't see such mentions when interviewing potential employees for a tech company in my city, but I do remember seeing "autodidact". Well, maybe a promotional point if they apply somewhere affiliated with a cult...
Yours truly: state educated. Atheist. A ‘Criminal Record’? I don't have one for so much as spitting on the pavement.
Jim-Boob taught his son to hate: years later he's currently doing a 12-stretch for downloading & possessing material: which includes all but mutilation of underage women.
Which leads to the inescapable logical conclusion that all rightist parents are almost as hypocritical as Josh Buggar's.
…and it's inescapable logic that Bri here is incapable of logical thought.
“The only difference between public school and home school curricula is home schooled kids aren’t taught to hate, mutilate, and kill themselves.”
Really? Because all experience in reality leads me to the very contrary. It is specially the home schooling bigots and controllers that teach kids to hate, mutilate themselves in accordance with a sects beliefs and most definitely institute quite the amount of suicidal thoughts.
And I’m sure that, when you will take over then you will ban homeschooling since it would then be used by people not wanting their children to be taught fundamentalism. I mean, Hitler, Franco and Orban banned homeschooling because they all wanted ultranationalism to be drilled in the heads of their nations’ children.
Public school also brings children into contact with other children, including children outside of your home social circle, ao you can get to know, reduce your prejudice towards and even form friendships with people with different backgrounds.
…oh wait, I see why you are for homeschooling…

Perhaps I was too harsh.
On the one hand, I would like to discourage homeschooling in the U.S. On the other hand, that does punish the child for the wrongs of the parent.
Poor education is one of the reasons for the rise of conspiracy theories and unhinged conservative voters. Republicans appear to work against gun control to encourage school shootings in the hopes that more parents pull their kids out of dangerous public schools. It's no secret Republicans oppose public education.
@Sasha #137284
I do see your point, and I agree that homeschooling should be discouraged unless there are special circumstances. But I think that every situation would be so different that it makes punishment tricky to do fairly. We can't punish a parent who just couldn't meet the standards as harshly as someone who legitimately wanted to isolate and brainwash the kids, after all. Maybe some kind of safety net system to help those who have been homeschooled discover any gaps in their education and take steps to fix it?
Confused?
