“BECAUSE the public schools do not teach any thinking skill, but a mindless obedience to someone claiming a position of authority.”

Private and homeschools can fail in the same area. There is no magic bullet.

I home school (obviously) but I think your hyperbole is way over the top. To equate public school with murder is astounding to those who have been affected by murder. Murder is way up the scale.

There are the occasional parents who simply can not home or private school. Perhaps single, abandoned, in severe medical situations - and education is compulsory in this nation.

In these cases I personally believe the church and/or charities should step in. But you can’t force it.

I favor the dismantling of public education and an end to compulsory education (other than a requirement that citizens be offered, perhaps at a library, basic literacy and math skills, in order to ensure a proper defense). But I would not equate public schooling your kids to murdering them.

Um, I never equated ‘murder’ and ‘public school.’
I was replying to someone who had quoted someone who had.
Hence the ‘>’ marks; to keep track of where in the conversation things were.

It is far better for a child to be brutally murdered than to be transformed into a mindless leftist monster. There are things worse than death. It would better for their throats to be cut instead of their souls.
