But the risks aren't just limited to just the danger of being unable to read and write. I mean literal physical danger. Here are twenty examples why:
#1. Andrea Hernandez, a senior at her high school, refused to wear the RFID necklace her school demands students wear. The school offered to let her wear a badge (like the Star of David Jews wore in Nazi Germany?) with no chip in it so it just looks like she's being tracked like an animal, and she refused that, too. The judge declared Andrea property of the school, and said she must wear the chip. Her and her family argued against it on religious grounds.
#2. Christopher Carter of the University of Incarnate World campus police "emptied his gun" into one student who had been "disrespectful" by making a "sarcastic comment." Student was unarmed and non-combative. "I didn't hear him say anything like, 'Get down on your hands and knees,' you know?" one witness explained, "I didn't hear him say anything. He just started shooting. He emptied the gun on him... Boom, boom, boom. Six shots - five or six." It is reported that the victims' last words were, "Oh, you're gonna shoot me?"
#3. At one public school in Texas, a 12-year-old girl was arrested for spraying herself with perfume.
#4. Police were called when a little girl kissed a little boy during Physical Education.
#5. A 7th grade girl was expelled for being raped twice in 2009. She was not believed and she was forced to write an apology to the boy. After serving a year expulsion, when she returned to school, she was raped again, whereafter doctors did find DNA evidence. That time the school suspended her for disrespectful conduct and public display of affection. The school said the girl was at fault.
#6. After burping in class, one 13-year-old student in Albuquerque was arrested.
#7. Also in Albuquerque, a student was made to strip down to his underwear while five adults watched because he had $200 in his pocket. The student, however, was never charged with doing anything wrong.
#8. For having left crumbs on the floor after cleaning up cake that she had spilled, a security guard at one school in California broke a 16-year-old girl's arm.

#20. A former Los Angeles elementary school teacher charged with blindfolding students and spoon-feeding them cookies laced with his semen pled no contest and was senteced to 25 years behind bars. He had a history of complaints against him.
Homeschooling is swiftly becoming a non-option for people in the United States like in some other countries. Bills to restrict and control homeschoolers are routine in the US. Getting you and your family out of the United States is swiftly becoming your only options for protecting your children from overbearing school officials and the armed thugs they call to intimidate their students.
An even better option is the unschooling concept which treats children like sentient beings who have their own desires and needs on what they want to learn and respecting that.
Here is an excellent interview with one pioneering unschooler.
Each school should be named, what city county state etc. put them on parade.
