More parents are choosing to homeschool their children than ever before, and it’s not hard to see why. Between the left-wing indoctrination happening in public schools, failing educational standards, and the refusal of these schools to prioritize real learning over political agendas, parents are taking back control. In classrooms across America, kids are getting an education in identity politics, environmental hysteria, and anti-American sentiment, while the fundamentals like reading, math, and critical thinking are pushed aside. For many parents, this was the last straw, and homeschooling is becoming the solution.
First, let’s talk about the quality of education. Studies show that homeschooled kids consistently outperform their public school counterparts on standardized tests and in college readiness. A study by the National Home Education Research Institute reveals that homeschoolers typically score 15-30 percentile points higher than public school students. This isn’t because homeschooling parents are miracle workers; it’s because they can tailor their child’s education to their needs, prioritize real academics, and avoid the endless distractions of public schooling. In a homeschooling environment, kids learn at their own pace, aren’t held back by bureaucratic nonsense, and don’t have to waste time with “feelings-based math” or whatever nonsense the latest curriculum fad has decided to push.
The decision to homeschool also reflects parents’ desire to protect their children from the ideological agendas being pushed by the left. Public schools have become hotbeds of political indoctrination, where teachers feel entitled to teach about sexual orientation, gender theory, and “critical race theory.” They’re making every topic about race, gender, or climate change rather than focusing on genuine learning. And who’s behind it all? That’s right — our friends on the left, who somehow think that politicizing every aspect of a child’s education is a virtue.
And let’s not forget the safety aspect. With rising concerns over bullying, violence, and the breakdown of discipline in public schools, many parents simply don’t feel comfortable leaving their kids in an environment where they could be unsafe. Homeschooling gives parents the assurance that their kids are in a safe, nurturing space where their values are respected and reinforced.
For those who argue that homeschooling doesn’t “socialize” kids properly, the statistics beg to differ. Homeschoolers join sports teams, community clubs, church groups, and more. They don’t need public schools to learn how to function in the real world. In fact, by avoiding the toxic social climate of many public schools, these kids are often better prepared for life, without the drama, bullying, and peer pressure that plague so many schools today.
The homeschooling boom represents a pushback against the left’s attempts to take over every aspect of our lives, including the way our children are raised and educated. Parents are sending a message: education should focus on truth, skills, and critical thinking, not progressive indoctrination.
