 @89a8406c I think it's the only choice. 
 @89a8406c actually, no the other other one is that you and a few families homeschool cooperatively in a one room schoolhouse where one parent a day teaches the kids. Someone does math, someone else does english, etc etc
Seize the means of indoctrination. 
 @peers with monsters @89a8406c thats literally just schools at that point 
 @armpit licker feet smeller  @89a8406c literally just schools without the present school faculty and accompanying bureaucracy.
Which is the point. 
 @armpit licker feet smeller  @89a8406c oh and without the majority minorities, etc.
Smaller "class" sizes too.

USGov: “You might consent but isn’t there someone you forgot to ask?” 
 @89a8406c @armpit licker feet smeller  Some US states require you  to do everything through the state, others require you to be underneath an umbrella organization that is nominally in charge of record keeping, etc.
I don't know of any that allow you to just do it, no questions asked, because I think they sicc truancy charges on you if you aren't in compliance 
 @peers with monsters @armpit licker feet smeller  

For sure, I mean higher education, and implied unavoidable qualification deals-with-the-devil.  Hope you’re ready for weaponized disbarment, etc. 
 @89a8406c @armpit licker feet smeller  I've got lots of time to plan, fortunately. 
 @peers with monsters @89a8406c i doubt it is but if its good enough to get them into higher education or pursue vocational training once they are of age idgaf whether their parents do it or not.

i dont understand why you cant complain to the school representatives about teachers pushing ideology to really young children (under 15) instead of just cashing out completely. 
 @armpit licker feet smeller  @89a8406c > idgaf whether their parents do it or not.
depending on how things in the world go, I'm not opposed to kids going to high school once some groundwork of sanity has been laid. Once they are capable of critical thought, and understanding that there are alternate paths, and not just some giant system that you must be fed to as a necessary function of continued existence.

> instead of just cashing out completely.
The last people to get a really quality public education in the US was in the 80s and maybe early 90s. Schools are nothing more than containment centers for the underclass' brood until they can legally go be debt slaves. Why would I inflict that on a child that could not yet understand what was going on? The schools were always destined to be the trenches of whatever social movement was currently being pushed as they are literal indoctrination factories (by design, mind you), that you are hard-pressed to avoid. Who wants to put a child there? What sort of absent, uncaring, thoughtless individual wants to watch the humanity of their child be stripped away as they are mass-produced into the kind of soulless nigger-cattle that fills the world today?
