Progressives Call Homeschooling Trickle-Down Stupidity. I Disagree.  @TheologyMom
Uploaded July 2026 | Updated September 2026, 3 weeks ago
I react to a viral “I’ve Had It” podcast clip where the hosts blast Christian homeschoolers as “the dumbest people,” “trickle-down stupidity,” “MAGA on steroids,” and part of America’s “crazy Christian problem”—while dismissing parental involvement as selfish and even abusive. As a longtime Christian homeschool mom, I push back on their claims, contrast them with the very real crisis of public-school students who can’t read basic sentences by college, and defend the normal, biblical reality of parents who simply want to lead, disciple, and educate their own kids instead of outsourcing them to a failing system.

Conversation breakdown:
0:00 – Opening
1:13 – Clip: criticizing homeschooling as some of the “dumbest people”
5:43 – I think it's weird to not want to spend time with your children.
7:38 – Clip: Christian homeschooling is “trickle-down stupidity” and “MAGA on steroids”
10:06 – The REAL literacy crisis: college students who can't read books
16:19 – Clip: Raising children in the Christian faith is “child abuse”
