“For example, home-schooling kids, or at least picking a more conservative public school system like we do could be seen as “running away”. I am aware of no good purpose of exposing children to the anti-Christian vitriol in, say, Massachusetts schools. “
Yea but that’s not “running away” that is “avoiding the near occasion of sin”. At least I would think so.
I agree,“avoiding the near occasion of sin” in the Catholic sense, “justifiable escape from lunacy” otherwise.
