I kept waiting for the ideology, which is mostly absent from this, but here it is:
>Of the 10 districts with the most home-schooled kids in The Post database, nine are in Florida. That’s partly because of the state’s large school districts, but also because its elected officials have grown friendlier to home education as they saddle public schools with politically charged restrictions on what can be taught about race and gender.
So, FL parents are homeschooling because they object to the rules recently put in place about teaching about racism and LGBT issues?
Somehow, I doubt that.
- FireBeyond 3y agoNo, it's more: "if you homeschool, you, and we are free to not even have to worry about this as an issue, versus us trying with varying degrees of success to lock it out of your kids school". The two can be entirely compatible.
- AlbertCory 3y agoI don't even understand this. FL officials are encouraging homeschooling? That's silly, given that the majority of kids will still go to public schools.
- FireBeyond 3y agoIt's ideology. If you're invested in taking those things out of education, and that's your motivator, then you have a couple of options: encourage homeschooling, where it can't be mandated, or work to remove it from public schools. Who is to say you can't do both? After all, either achieves your ideological aims.
- AlbertCory 3y agoso you claim to have found a motivation for this behavior, which you haven't even provided evidence for? these horrible people are encouraging homeschooling, and that's why it's growing? Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Especially when the whole article describes it as a nationwide phenomenon. I believe "projection" describes this paranoid belief of yours.
