>If a state did the same thing with LGBT topics or evolution, I suspect you'd take no issue with calling it a ban.

Why are so many that hate public schools so focused on these two things? I don't think there's an evolution class, but it would be covered in biology.

No one here (certainly not me) wants those topics banned from schools. It's just I also don't think 8th grade algebra should be banned.

A lot of folks who do homeschooling do it particularly because they don't want their children to learn evolution, or have sex education.

They do want those things banned in schools and since they can't get them banned have rage quit the system.

Due to polarization. People are herded to fight over stupid but controversial things so things never change. That said, parents in general invest and care a lot about their V2s than any government could ever lie about. Inevitably their children will be indoctrinated to believe in things that go against their values and they will be rightfully pissed off and afraid.
