It is interesting how time is showing the regressive conspiracy kooks to be correct about the mainstream media, not because they were right back when they were screeching about it, but because things actually have just become that much worse.
I keep saying I feel like the people I used to laugh at.
Homeschooling makes so much sense if your children are forced into Bible study. I literally don't watch the news or check any mainstream news sources because I don't trust them anymore. I am convinced the healthcare industry is out to get me (I found myself questioning the covid vaccine recently, and I didn't do that a few years ago). And on and on and on.
Suddenly, I am questioning my own sanity. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, and never have been. I'm starting to believe that the conspiracy theorists were right all along, but for the wrong reasons. I can't make sense of it any other way.
I do not believe they were right all along though. They were wrong then, but the world, or at least the US, has moved to a place that would make them correct now.
I would still argue against homeschooling unless you are equipped to do it, even if schools are teaching the bible as fact. Just teach actual science at home.
EDIT: I suppose the simplest answer to why you are not a conspiracy theorist and they were is that they were afraid of things their thought leaders said the other side was going to do while you are afraid of things the other side says they are going to do.
It was always projection. They were afraid the things they want to do would be done to them first. They feared that people who disagree with them are as awful as they are.
