    This is similar to how my mom began homeschooling. My oldest sister was being bullied at school and my mom took her out for her own safety. At the time we were religious, but not particularly fundamentalist.

    With internet resources, libraries, and these state-sponsored cyber-schooling programs, you can find the niche that is appropriate for your kid and do it in a way that doesn’t involve right-wing nut job indoctrination as you prove. If people want to have some sort of oversight to ensure we don’t churn out Duggars or Turpin kids, then I’m okay with that so long as there is flexibility in the curriculum to specialize to your child’s needs & interests.
