They are already squealing about not having "God in schools", like that makes sense.

Shocking Data Shows School Closures Caused Severe Learning Loss For Children Around The Globe
Children have been the lowest-risk group affected by Covid-19, but have arguably suffered the most under Covid-19 policies imposed on them by hysteric adults. A recent joint report by the World Bank, UNESCO (The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization), and UNICEF (the United Nations Childrens Fund), presents some shocking data on how much learning loss children worldwide have suffered in the last two years due to school closures.
In March 2020, as the virus spread worldwide, fear and uncertainty led many governments to shut down schools to slow the spread. Only a few countries, including Taiwan, Nicaragua, and Sweden, decided not to close their schools. By April, UNESCO estimated that about 1.5 billion children worldwide had been forced to stay home due to school closure, and their regular education was disrupted.
(snip)
It didnt take long for scientists to learn that children are much less likely than adults to be harmed by Covid-19. As school closures extended from weeks to months, many parents and educators voiced concerns that remote learning had failed to provide kids the educational experience they needed.
(snip)
American parents and other concerned citizens must stand up to the teachers unions, the Democrat politicians the unions support, and unelected public health officials like Fauci. We must let them know that we will never go back to failed Covid-19 restrictions, and we can never again close schools as we did last two years. Children have suffered enough.

All their bullshit laws are keeping these kids from learning history, and that's just a start.

(47,461 posts)8. The GOP elite send their children to exclusive safe private schools.
It is the rest of us that they want to keep ignorant and in danger.

(9,275 posts)9. One big reason homeschooling is popular with RWNJs
No mandatory reporters. No one to squeal if their kids have bruises from being smacked around. After all, they have a God-given right to parent however they please, including corporal punishment.
I know a couple who were turned down by the state of NJ for an adoption because they intended to homeschool. Good.
