Lots of people homeschool because of religious reasons. Public schools have largely pushed Christianity out of their doors, unfortunately.

So what should others teach? I think that they should also teach their children EVERYTHING, so that their children can understand how others think. The best way to argue for or against something is to be educated on all of the facts.
