    I never said anything about surgery. That’s your assumption. You clearly don’t know anyone who has transitioned. There is a lot more that happens well before any thought of surgery. Anyway…I can see this is going nowhere fast with you, par for the course, so I’m out as I’m not going through waste my time with someone as uninformed as you.

    Quite the tap dance around the question.

    Educated people are not more liberal indoctrinated people are more liberal at least in the modern sense of of the word.

    It state run education which many are opposed to

    Whatever dude. I think this new attack on education is going to come around and bite conservatives on the ass. I just feel sorry for their kids.

    Once again you are desperatedly avoiding the question.

    Are you talking about education or state mandated and controlled education?

    I'm not a home school fan. Home schooling, from what I've observed, turns out pathologically introverted mal-adjusted teens and adults. And their education is spotty at best.

    Better than a generation that thinks you can change your gender and that White people are the cause of all unhappiness.

    Nationally, successful school systems are federally run, or have federal standards.

    Standards have not worked for us, and can never work.

    Which leaves one option.

    One of the problems with homeschooling in today's world is that many just sign the kids up for online classes and assume it's all good. I've been on both sides of those.

    The courses I took were very simplistic and superficial. Essentially, it was a box to check that said I took a course. Those courses I gave were pretty much the same. Students sign in, look at the assignments, then send their required material for a grade. I have no way to verify that students did this on their own. There was nowhere in the course for me to interact in ways to encourage critical thinking. Cheating is so simple and so common in the online environment that it's dismissed as unimportant. I was told that everything is online anyway, so why worry about it.

    All that matters is that the box gets checked.

    Yeah yeah, hormones blah blah blah. We're not talking about the physical aspects. We're talking about the social. Which you know about and is why you're choosing to run away.

    Homeschooling should be an option, but it's not on the rise as Jill Simonian claims to be. The latest statistic includes a year in which the pandemic was raging across the United States, so parents opted for their kids to stay home and be "homeschooled." If you look at the studies for homeschooling, religious instruction is not even on the top of the list. The bigger reasons are that the kids have AHAD or other similar medical issues and homeschooling is a better option than in a public or private school environment that will not tolerate such behavior by kids with AHAD.

    Here are the top five reasons why parents choose homeschooling
    1. Make a change from a negative school environment
    2. Get a higher-quality education. I would not call PragerU homeschooling a higher quality education
    3. Improve your children's social interactions. But this can only be achieved through homeschool cooperative programs that get kids once a week or more to interact with each other.
    4. Support a learning disabled child
    5. Educate children during a family relocation to another state or country.

    Anything can be considered "indoctrination". Even facts can be. Especially when its selective facts used.

    Because too often two opposing facts can be correct at the same time, yet only one is taught. For instance, guns are defensive and offensive weapons. The right points out the defensive, the left points out the offensive. The right uses the defensive use of guns to protect, the left uses the offensive guns to protect in their own way. Both are forms of indoctrination.

    Whatever. It’s the parents and their kids on their time. Also, it’s not public school. For us it’s about avoiding indoctrination and others thinking that they own our kids 35 hours a week while we work to support our family.

    What two opposing facts? You really can't be serious, can you?

    Paradoxes is what you may be referring to. However, one statement is based on observation and the other statement is based on actual fact. Thus, it's not two facts, but two statements that both appear true.

    See...indoctrination is why you responded the way you did. It is a fact that guns are used for both offensive, and defensive uses. You can't dispute that they have been used both ways.

    It is not the purpose of the public school system to promote the anti-American agenda of the far-right. Oh hell yes Prager U is anti-Christian. Prager U openly rejects the message of Jesus Christ to show love and
    compassion for the weak, the vulnerable, the marginalized, the disenfranchised, and the disinherited.

    The movie Gods not Dead: We the people mentions that there are other reasons besides religion and conservative that parents choose to home school their kids that parallel what you said. There is a fear that secular progressive elites in big government may take out all the others in some future effort at eradicating home schools like the article or the movie describe. The movie covers a church based co op under attack by local and federal governments

    They aren't interested in facts.

    Anything that does not fit their pov is classified as "indoctrination".

    eta: It's kind of funny when you think about it. They don't realize they've been indoctrinated to their hateful beliefs. /smdh

    that is not indoctrination by any definition. Being used for offensive and defensive purposes is a statement of observation. A firearm has only one function, that is to kill. That is a statement of fact.

    However, your statement is not a statement of fact, it is a statement of observation. My statement, that guns have only one function and that is to kill is a stated fact. My fact does not lead any way whether it is good or bad.

    Hint: You may want to understand what a paradox is and that means a proper and robust education, which you have not had IMO.
