> Isn't escaping from those officials the whole point? Either because they're failing at their job or doing things that are disagreeable to some subset of the population? It sounds ideal. But we might want at least some oversight and regulation to, for example, make sure kids aren't being homeschooled on how to build rockets and kill some group of people.

because public school kids never kill people?

  They generally aren't brainwashed to kill people. Bad apples will fall from any tree. A poisoned tree will mostly produce bad apples.

    > They generally aren't brainwashed to kill people. Lmao, yes they are. You couldn't be more wrong, kids who attend public school make better military recruits. Public schools teach kids how to conform to institutional systems and follow orders. These are essential skills for effective killers. Btw, since you're so scared of kids learning how to build rockets.. I learned how to build rockets in public school through a program called TARC. The same design principles I learned for model rockets could be applied to homemade weaponized rockets. Does that frighten you? Do you think that makes me Hamas or something? (Hamas is who you're thinking of right? America doesn't have a domestic rocket attack problem, I'm sure you know that.) You should know that most people in the MIC went through public school. If you're actually afraid of people learning these sort of skills, shouldn't you be advocating for kids receiving a bible-only education that renders them incapable of engineering, and therefore weapon design, and unfit for military recruitment?

Concerns (or "concerns") like this always make me wonder what kind of terrible environment the commentor grew up in: a war-torn country with child soldiers firing homemade rockets, or maybe a cute little cul-de-sac in an upper-middle class suburb where all problems are hypothetical yet everything is still terrifying. Maybe modeling the child rocket program[1] on [whatever it is that public high schools are doing] would save us? [1] https://estesrockets.com/collections/stem-products
