> underlying problem is the completely unregulated nature

No that’s literally the main benefit. People actually get to teach their own kids without state indoctrination (either left or right.)

I love that when a parent tells a kid that Jesus rode a velociraptor it's "teaching" but when a school tells a kid the universe probably started with a big bang, it's "indoctrination".

I definitely wouldn't want this kind of "regulated" education for children.
