| Message | Should we also allow parents to perform surgery on their children at home too? I mean, parents are apparently qualified to do any job relating to their children. No, teaching should be done by teachers, they're trained to do it. Why would we want to allow parents to indoctrinate their children with whatever crazy notions they think of at the time? We must provide an education to every person in the nation, regardless of what their parents want. That is why we have compulsory vaccinations too, because parents aren't infallible, and often don't know what's best. |

| Message | I guess the Judicial Union Party has half a point! Maybe if he actually does a bit of research, maybe he will see that most, notice the word most, homeschoolers do better in college as well as in life. |

| Message | There is no reason for homeschooling. Parents who homeschool their children are by and large paedophiles. |

| Message | We have as much proof for that assertion as you have for yours. |

| Message | Nice try but at least mine is steeped in actual facts. Yours is based on nothing. |

| Message | Parents who abuse their children are most often caught out when the children go to school and teachers find out etc. It stands to reason that a parent, who wishes to continue to sexually abuse their child, will keep their child home at all times, including during school time. Hence, people who homeschool their kids are paedophiles. |

| Message | Nice logical fallacy. There are many different types of abuse. And I can tell you right now that most parents who homeschool their kids are not paedophiles. So stop with your delusions. It detracts from honest debate. |
