"More specifically, early 2021 data indicate that at least 5 million American parents have decided to educate their children entirely at home. That’s up from about 3.2 million parents identified who reported that they had already been homeschooling in February 2020."
The experience with COVID showed them they could; so they did ... permanently.
Another good argument for getting rid of govt schools. With education fully privatized, curriculum becomes a concern of faculty and parent, and not society at large.
Public education produced most of America’s heroes, geniuses, innovators, creators, and leaders during the last hundred years.
Getting rid of public schools is a terrible idea. Maybe just doing it better is the answer. Look to countries like Finland, where they have an education system that would make the majority of this board bug out, and yet often score first among nations in reading, writing, and math.
Private schools face the same issues as public schools when it comes to this kind of crap. There will ALWAYS be parents who object to some aspect of the curriculum. And that is the least of the problems with privatizing education. I can’t even begin to list all the reasons why a completely privatized school system would be a disaster.

The left likes to throw cold water on any education outside their system of indoctrination with canards like “little billy wont develop social skills if home schooled”, when in fact the opposite has proven true

Exactly and if home schooling continues to grow, then public education is going to have to 'compete' for enrollments. Imagine that ...
The article linked is behind a paywall (or at least a 'registration wall') so I could only read the first couple of paragraphs. But it looks to me like a case of headline fraud. No sane person would advocate a complete ban on Civil Rights, which is an integral part of US history.
The problem is that you slip all too easily into CRT, blaming others because of THEIR skin color....when they weren't even alive at the time.
Not to mention turning history into YOUR OPINION of what happened to others "due to their skin color".
The Left is bound and determined to fill kids heads full of CRT hate, even if they don't call it CRT.
Who is you all? I do not teach students and do not have clue what exactly constitutes this CRT that people keep yapping about.
My question is… what is the issue with teaching the story. This happened to a school aged child, one who happens to be alive.
Why do some many of you generational Americans fight down certain aspects of your history so much?
