Does anyone see something similar happening in the U.S. where they ban homeschooling? Or at least they try? Didn’t Marx list government education as a pillar of communism or something?
We have public education, but we never merged private education in with public education like they did in Europe. The Ivy League here are all private, and even a lot of Leftist shitholes like Oberlin College are private.
Homeschooling is an extension of private education, and the right are making gains in that area which haven't existed for a long time.
I’ve seen homeschooling numbers shooting up which is good but it does beg the question why should you pay into the public school system if you took your kids out?
The same argument applies to pretty much any childless homeowner (including gay couples and old people, neither of which are gonna breed) and the argument never flies because they make it a "good for the species" argument that everyone pays into (a/the) public school system via property tax.

Try? Yes.
Succeed? No.

You are right though. They get hostile if you bring that up
