Or so you think. I don't know you, but every home school kids I've met shows the lack of meeting republicans/democrats/jews/blacks. None of them see that in themselves though.

It's hard to know what this looks like.

Nearly every person I've met struggles with empathizing with people who aren't in their in-group, that's not a homeschooled-specific thing. The enormous polarization in the modern political climate is due to precisely the kind of insularism that you're calling out, and it's not because of the 1.5% of the adult population that was homeschooled.

Considering how many people choose to be republicans and democrat's I don't think this is a home school issue.

In many public schools you have the exact same thing depending on where you are.
There are also a lot of adults who show the lack of meeting a diverse set of homeschool families as well. They don't usually see that in themselves either.
