Are they or is that just what the media wants us to believe? I hear the “left” is obsessed with all kinds of things too yet I never seem to encounter these people outside of social media.
There definitely are those people too. I noticed this a lot with home schooling. I live in a celery get leaning area and have been surprised at the number of home schoolers I run into.
One had what I consider a good reason - so netting happened at school and the kid was being bullied over it, so they kept him home for a couple years until they could get him in a different school.
But the rest are generally some variation of extremely well educated people thinking they can do better for their kids, let the kids use their imagination or dive very deeply into their interest. But they’re not teachers and not prepared to dedicate every weekday to covering all the same ground. All good intentions, all poorly done at their kids expense
