This isn't really surprising at all. Everything he says, esp how libs push their ideology but are sneaky and never admit their politics - that's clear as day.
The only question is are people too lazy to raise their own kids instead of letting daddy govt and the answer is overwhelmingly yes
Rather, demand school choice. If we put all our eggs in one government basket, we're inevitably going to be sorely disappointed. We need more checks and balances in education by having multiple schools competing to be each set of parents' respective choice.
The existing system is especially stupid in that it makes the parents who are already the most involved in caring for their children's education pay twice. I'd be willing to extend some sort of financial help to families who want to try alternate schools but can't afford to on their own. That said, tax credits are long overdue and would immediately help the vast majority of parents who already do pay once but start to wince when thinking about having to pay twice.
I'm definitely sympathetic to your point of view. I think there's an argument, though, that the public has a right to review and understand the laws. Ensuring that most people have the opportunity to become literate is an efficient way of recognizing that right. Likewise, promoting numeracy is a fairly efficient way of recognizing citizens' rights to understand who contributes to the system and who benefits. To those ends, I think it's okay for the government to make limited training available.
That said, the government doesn't have to directly provide the training. They could just provide funds (e.g., tax credits)\ and let the free market work out the rest.
I definitely agree that the government should not be funding gender studies or art history or wiccanism or Christianity for that matter. To the degree that the government does fund education\, though, I'm willing to let citizens buy those modules for themselves as supplements. E.g., say the government determines that $5,000/year is sufficient for a student to learn reading, writing and arithmetic so they make that available. You could then choose any school that handles the core curriculum for less than $5,000. If you wanted to also learn art history and Christian theology, you would be free to choose a $7,000/year school that teaches those alongside the basics--making up the $2,000 difference at your own expense.
\ Yes this is still dumb. They could* just lower everyone's taxes under the assumption that everyone will have some educational (or medical, etc.) expenses but I'm also willing to take progress where I can get it. Almost anything is better than the current system.
Basic literacy and numeracy training can, and should, be handled by the family. Do not burden others with your own stupidity at the point of a gun (taxes). There is no need for gov in anything learning related, excepting maybe very high-end scientific pursuits.
School choice merely allows you to choose whose money you steal.

For the families that use their school choice to choose home-schooling, I'd allow them to keep the e.g., $5,000 tax credit for themselves. I.e., You "sent" your kid to home school so leave the money that you didn't have to pay in taxes with the ones who did the schooling.

I'm of the opposite opinion. The more complex something is, the more I want the government to stay out of it--except to make sure that those engaging in the complexity don't force their decisions on others. E.g., government should've protected people from being jabbed by the science if they didn't want it.

Taxpayers spend about $7000 in subsidies per kid per year, for both private and public schools and the only response to their failure is that they need more money. That's why they're liberal.
It costs around $250 a year to homeschool. Cancelling school isn't unreasonable for the greedy jew occupation government because they want that money. They want all money.

Orthography What is meant by the following: Alphabet, phonetic, orthography, etymology, syllabication? What are elementary sounds? How classified? What are the following, and give examples of each: Trigraph, subvocals, diphthong, cognate letters, linguals? Give four substitutes for caret 'u.'
Arithmetic Name and define the Fundamental Rules of Arithmetic. A wagon box is 2 ft. deep, 10 feet long, and 3 ft. wide. How many bushels of wheat will it hold? If a load of wheat weighs 3942 lbs., what is it worth at 50 cts/bushel, deducting 1050 lbs. for tare? District No. 33 has a valuation of $35,000. What is the necessary levy to carry on a school seven months at $50 per month, and have $104 for incidentals?
Geography What is climate? Upon what does climate depend? How do you account for the extremes of climate in Kansas? Of what use are rivers? Of what use is the ocean? Describe the mountains of North America. Name and describe the following: Monrovia, Odessa, Denver, Manitoba, Hecla, Yukon, St. Helena, Juan Fernandez, Aspinwall and Orinoco.
