I don't know if it's in Canon Law, but morally speaking it's COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE to turn your kids over to the public Government schools for indoctrination.

They learn about sodomy, masturbation, transsɛҳuąƖism, LGBT, "white people are the devil", BLM, Critical Race theory --and that's before 2nd grade. This is 2021, not 1985. The world has changed since GenX went to school in the 80's and early 90's. And those horrible things I listed? That's in rural conservative areas. The big cities are much worse! I'm only half-joking here. My point is: it's not just abuses in a few highly liberal places where garbage like this is poured into childrens' minds. It's literally EVERYWHERE. North Dakota. Texas. Red states. Blue states. Rural/urban. Doesn't matter.

Do you know the average age kids first see pornography? Age 9. Listen to a few podcasts by Jonathon Van Maren for a real eye-opener on this heading. It's the truth. You can deny it if you like, but that doesn't invalidate it. Unless your children are sheltered, they WILL be exposed to porno at a young age. And the worst kind of porno too! Not simply playboy and 70's era soft porn. Not just the lingerie section of the Sears catalog. We're talking gangbanging, inter-racial, degrading, perverted stuff that can't even be named. AT AGE NINE. In ALL public schools nationwide.

I don't see how mortal sin could be avoided, sending children into certain loss of Faith like that. How could Trads do that? Why did they leave the Novus Ordo, only to sign up their children in the devil's own schools? Insanity.


Better for your children to be uneducated, with a literal 2nd grade education, than to lose their souls in modern-day public schools. Janitors can save their souls, you know.

Matthew, this is where respectfully, you’re being a little hyperbolic. Especially when not every family has the luxury that you have of homeschooling.

There is a common misconception that homeschooling is ‘school at home’. Meaning a parent must duplicate the typical classroom at home. It doesn’t have to be done that way. 
I was unschooled starting from 4th grade. My mother pulled me out of a Novus Ordo Catholic grade school after I finished 3rd grade. She was mostly hands off, so I wound up being mostly self taught. I love to read and write, math never being an interest of mine, I at least know the basics. 
I read mostly fiction until my early 20’s then that all changed when I starting reading different Saint biographies. I had a conversion back to the Faith (of which it was getting colder) and then a few years later by the grace of God I found Tradition. 
I had my eldest son in a Novus Ordo Catholic school and pulled him out, started homeschooling and the rest is history. Now in his early 20’s, he is a very intelligent and articulate young man, and best of all he still has the Catholic Faith. My younger children have only ever been homeschooled. They are all very intelligent and have interests in many subjects outside of what you’d find in a typical classroom setting. 
It makes me sad to meet neighborhood kids that want to play with them and you can tell they have no substance there. Very aloof and somewhat robotic. Much of it may be the public schools in the area here in the South, but still I can see the difference in my own children and public school children. Mostly because these young ones are also lacking The Church and The Sacraments and from what I’ve seen of many parents here they are self centered ego maniacs that let their children spiritually and emotionally rot in other people’s care while they work all day and party all night. These are the children ours would be attending school with. Imbibing their values on a daily basis at lunch and recess. I regret my eldest had to endure that the few years he was in school.

Take heart those with children still in schools. I prayed every morning with my son as we drove to drop him off, the Saint Michael prayer. I told my son that St Michael would be with him and he said, ‘he’d be floating above the school watching over everyone’. A sweet memory we have from that time. 
Also, for those interested check into ‘Deschooling’ and ‘Unschooling’. Unschooling has a bad rap of being unstructured when it can be done in a structured way. Relaxed homeschool is another term for that too.
