The problem, as that Harvard **harpy** mentions, is that parents have too much authority and (in her ill-formed and bigoted opinion) the state has not enough. Thus they might [list=a][li]Grossly outperform the public schools, thus forming a group of well-educated over-achievers who will hurt the self-esteem of others, and Teach un-approved thought, which in the minds of the liberal elite always equates to racism/sexism/heresy. [/list]Teacher’s unions don’t want the competition, and liberals don’t want children to be taught anything but liberal thought. Hence the call to ban home-schooling.
