John Oliver incredulously reporting that there are states where parents can homeschool their kids and they don’t even have to tell the state what they’re doing in their own private homes to an audience nodding and agreeing that it’s crazy that a family could just do whatever they wanted without checking in with the government first is disheartening
Now he’s spending a bunch of time on some Nazi homeschooling program somebody on his staff dug up that I’m sure like six people in Montana have ever heard of
After priming you with a long segment about a Nazi homeschooling program no homeschooler has ever heard of he pivots to the position that the real problem with homeschooling is that many of the programs are created by conservative evangelicals
He is now expressing astonishment that parents are allowed to raise their kids however they want without a background check
Credit where due: he did acknowledge at one point that there might be some good reasons to home school, for example if you’re a black family and the school is criminalizing your child for no reason
