Should we make home school compulsary and ban college so we stop Liberalism?
-------------------
No, just get the governments noses out of schools and stop letting them be so controlling. If businesses did their business the way the government would, they would be out of business. The government doesn't have to make a profit, which screws things up when they interfere.

If teachers were forced to stick to teaching the courses rather than flooding young minds with propaganda, we wouldn't need to ban those educational opportunities.

We would then have to import Chinese scientists and engineers for all our high-tech businesses, because you want to raise a generation fit only for farming and ditch-digging ---oops, we do all that with big machinery these days, so we will have young adults fit only for collecting welfare checks. Are you sure that's what you want?
And yet every time a biology teacher tries to stick to teaching biology that includes the Theory of Evolution and not the propaganda of the Bible, fundies scream bloody murder.
If we made home school compulsory, we'd have to make sure the teachers/parents stuck to the curriculum and didn't insert their own religious propaganda.
"If teachers were forced to stick to teaching the courses rather than flooding young minds with propaganda, we wouldn't need to ban those educational opportunities."
Except of course the "courses" are precisely what you call propaganda.
Here in Britain, it makes no difference.
As the government-enforced National Curriculum is compuls ory in even private tutoring & homeschooling , in Soviet Britain Liberalism stops you .
Ofsted. It's a thing.
But if you want China to become superior to Dumbfuckistan: as their Atheist college & university students - backed by the government there - rape your commercial, financial, industrial, military & intelligence databases, you go right ahead. Only, don't take the rest of the technologically - and educationally - advanced USA with you.
That's why our government stops your kind of 'Hoemskuling' in the UK. The reason summed up in that one word: China. Oh, and speaking of just one word:
compulsa ry

Thank you for proving my - and my government's - point.
So, what you're saying is that filling young minds with propaganda is bad unless it's your propaganda? Education is bad because it exposes people to ideas that aren't yours? Profit motive is the only way to avoid screwing things up?
"Not even wrong" about covers it. There seems to be some sort of disconnect here between the brain and reality...
"and ban college so we stop Liberalism"
And doctors. And engineers. And people qualified to write up those home schooling textbooks. And people to write the laws to ban college or whatever else triggers you in the future...

I wonder just which propaganda flooding courses would be eliminated;
Science (biology, for sure; Goddidit)
Anatomy, Medicine (pray - God will provide and heal)
English (grammar, spelling; they don't use them, anyway)
Any foreign languages
Literature (bible is all you need)
Political Science (just vote Republican)
Comparative Religion (there's only one true one)
Geography (U.S.A., U.S.A., U.S.A.! What more do you need to know?)
Sex Ed
Geology (flat world made in 6 days 6,000 years ago, Grand Canyon made by Noah's flood)
Astronomy (Earth is center of universe)
Meteorology (no climate change)
Entomology (insects have 4 legs)
History (slavery was good, no prominent minorities or women, bible is proven accurate)
Civics (constitution written by Jesus, usurped and bastardised by liberals)
Animal husbandry (all dogs from wolves in 6,000 years without evolution, goats by striped poles)
Economics (trickle down works, Trump will lower taxes)
Ecology (world is ours to plunder, Jesus will give us a new one)
Math (Pi=3, how much is 10% for tithing, Trump's crowds larger than Obama's)
Career planning (join army, kill brown people, take back our oil)
------
Which would they keep?;
Home making, for the little ladies
Cooking? There's Mickey D's for nutrition
Phys Ed (Football, football!)
Because there's no potential for political bias when everyone is raised by their parent's opinions without mandated factual accuracy and the first rule they learn is to always agree. Also I just imagined what trying to home school surgery would look like.
It was rather disturbing what I came up with.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
