The February mass shooting at a high school in Parkland, Florida prompted many parents to consider homeschooling. This is hardly surprising, as the misnamed federal “Gun-Free Schools” law leaves schoolchildren defenseless against mass shooters. Removing one’s children from government schools seems a rational response to school shootings.
School shootings are not the only form of violence causing more parents to consider homeschooling. Many potential homeschooling parents are concerned about the failure of school administrators to effectively protect children from bullying by other students.
Of course many parents choose homeschooling as a means of protecting their children from federal education “reforms” such as Common Core. Other parents are motivated by a desire to protect their children from the cultural Marxism that has infiltrated many schools.

As do parochial schools, yet we are forced to pay for a public school system that doesn’t meet the educational needs of our children. We are paying twice. Needs to be remedied.
Of course it does! If I were a young parent I would find a way to home school. Even if it meant working at night. Bottom line schools are not safe anymore.
Sorry, but that's UNAmerican!
IN order to fix this we should be allowed to direct our tax dollars to schools that actually teach. Private or public.. SCHOOL VOUCHERS NOW!!!
Next the nanny Government or school board will want gun free homes for home schooled children. In other words, they will try to have the legislature pass a bill that makes gun ownership illegal for home schoolers parents. The will be compliant home schoolers or they will face contempt charges. Betcha...
