> The right-wing purpose of home-schooling is to get away from the religious indoctrination in public schools

Not even close. https://www.texastribune.org/2022/08/18/texas-schools-in-god... https://www.npr.org/2022/06/27/1106290141/supreme-court-high...

Their purpose is to get away from the political indoctrination in public schools. And honestly, considering how much of what's taught in school about our government and society just isn't true... I don't blame 'em.

(To be fair, a lot of them would probably try and get away from religious indoctrination if it weren't Christian.)

> And their support of school choice means elite schools for everybody, instead of just the rich, which is the status quo.

How do you figure that? The well-off are still the only people who will be able to afford the best education, because the reality is the amount of money you spend on education is highly correlated with the success of that education. The only thing it will do for the rest is take those with plenty of money out of the public school's tax base, decreasing the quality of education there even further.
