A far-left podcaster, Jennifer Welch, sparked controversy by calling homeschooling ‘trickle down stupidity’ and a ‘huge problem’. Welch, co-host of the ‘I’ve Had It’ podcast, made the comments in response to a caller who complained about parents attempting to homeschool their children.
Comments Spark Outrage
Welch’s co-host, Angie Sullivan, also expressed concerns about homeschooling, stating that she worries about ‘people in Bible study’ homeschooling their kids. Sullivan claimed that homeschooling is ‘weird as f—‘ and that she would have done anything to get her kids to school, just to have some time away from them.
Welch accused parents who choose to homeschool of attempting to ‘project a script onto their kids’ and claimed they were incapable of critical thinking. She also suggested that homeschooling was part of America’s ‘fundamental crazy Christian problem’, implying that it was essentially child abuse.
Corey DeAngelis, a senior fellow at the American Culture Project, responded to the comments, stating that sending children to government schools for a majority of their childhoods was the real ‘weird’ position. DeAngelis argued that the government school system is filled with documented abuse, bullying, fights, drugs, gangs, violence, and relentless socialist indoctrination.
