I work adjacent to education, and as such see a lot of high school transcripts come across my desk. The bad news is that there are absolutely tons of bad actors who use homeschooling as a way to indoctrinate kids to their insane, unsubstantiated worldview.

The worst news is that there's a ton of private schools and even some public schools doing it too. Schools across the U.S. are teaching creationism as fact, climate change as theory, and some of them even have the gall to consider their "Biblical Science" classes as honors level. If your only argument against homeschooling is indoctrination, it's not a very good one. In states like Utah and Oklahoma, you'd almost have to homeschool your kid just to make sure they're receiving a real education.

Libertarians of NH are famously stupid and terrible at everything though so I wouldn't worry too much.

I've known many people who've participated in home schooling as teachers or students. A wide variety of "teaching" goes on, some of is just a more personal relationship with your child's formal education, on the other extreme, you have people like OP referenced.... and everything in between.

Fascists: do fascist things

Liberals: correct their spelling, then allow them to continue because fascism doesn’t threaten capital

The NH libertarian party also produced this greasy weirdo comparing car licenses to a license for making toast at home. Gary Johnson got booed for saying a drivers license wasn't a bad idea.

They're a party of clowns

Conservatives are conserving a social hierarchy they were programmed to believe in by evil entities. Is some great irony that they wish their children to have the beliefs of pure evil.

Teach them that all you want but they won't be smart enough to live by themselves. Imagine wanting your kid to be as dumb as possible.

The NH libertarian party is a fucking joke, it's just insane people running it. I honestly can't believe the main party hasn't fully disengaged themselves from them. They're not even libertarians, as this post, goes %100 against the NAP, which is one of the foundations of libertarianism.

goes %100 against the NAP

The Non-Aggression Principle was always a swiss-cheese ideology. Looks great, tastes great, but its full of giant holes. It isn't rooted in some foundational legal understanding of assault and battery, or property theft or damage, or reputational slander, or financial harm. The basis for the NAP boils down to "Are you to blame for my anxiety?" And the prescription response for a violation is "Anything I think will make me feel better."

It's exactly the kind of reasoning that gives the term Anarchism a bad name. No common code of conduct or shared understanding of the world. Just a million little free radicals riding the tide of their insular views and knee-jerk reactions.

O I completely agree, I just thought it was funny that they're basically doing the exact opposite of one of the foundations of libertarianism relies on.

Can agree, for the longest time I loosely considered myself libertarian, just along the lines of "your rights end where mine begins". Seeing the type of people in the party was really eye opening seeing that my initial thoughts didn't match up with the reality.

Maybe they mean that people like them deserve to have big wangs. 🤷🏻‍♂️
