TP, They will learn about whatever cultures are present in their school. The home schoolers will have a distorted and parochial view.

Or they'll just have a different point-of-view than the "politically correct" conformists within the public school system.

Seems like you can't see home schooling in any other way except disdainful.

"The home schoolers will have a distorted and parochial view."

Maybe. Homeschoolers are a pretty diverse group. Yeah, the majority are those who seek to limit their kids to only certain viewpoints, but that isn't the totality. The homeschool group we were a member of has a very diverse membership and tried very hard to to expose the children to a variety of cultures. But there are also ones like the group in Conroe who had their kids dressed in camo and focussed on weapon handling...

TP you seem to have an interesting view of home schooling. Perhaps you should look into what motivates them.

Some just are opting out of failed education systems. Some have an agenda, those we all need to look out for.
