This is how a significant portion of the population gets radicalized by their parents. It needs to be shut down.

100%. The school and the Internet are the two places children can encounter opinions different from their parents’ for the first time. With an increase in homeschooling and recent pushes to ban social media for children, it’s clear that critical thinking is going to suffer most. I still have not met someone who was homeschooled who was remotely thankful for it.

Honestly, support for these policies that benefit, more than anyone else, abusive parents, makes me suspicious of people’s motives.
