These are feelings, not facts.
Homeschooling is not largely populated by people with "extremist" beliefs. Such people are too low in number to be largely populating anything.
5 million parents in the US were officially homeschooling their kids as of the latest Pulse survey (done during COVID pandemic to see changes in families). [1]
There are about 56 million students attending school in the US right now [2]
So about 10% of kids are homeschooled. That's not mainstream but it's not such a small minority to be discounted, nor is it small enough to be largely populated by extremists.
