Do you agree that parents who homeschool their children, should be paid by the government?

I was talking to a friend on here, and he agreed with me. I won't mention his name, because I don't want him to have to go into the witness protection program, for associating with a dirty rotten scoundrel like me.

In my state, it costs about $20,000 to teach a student for a year in a government school. Conservatives are not happy with our tax dollars going to a government school that focuses on teaching crap about pronouns, toxic masculinity, all white people are garbage, and of course, LGBTQRSTUV. Meanwhile, the government schools are saying that math and science are racist. lol

If parents want to forgo this insanity, and teach their own kids, I believe they should get paid. I believe that if this came to fruition, the government schools would be nearly empty. Yes the mafia (teacher's union) wouldn't like it, but tough shit.

To be paid by the government leads me to believe there'd be paperwork to prove what all a parent is doing... government loves to be in people's business.
I'd rather I get a tax break/credit for what I spent on schooling material for the year. I don't want to be considered a government employee, which being paid by them seems to be how it would be.
Also, someone suggested not having to pay taxes for schools if home schooling. I agree.

When the people come to fix your roof; are they your employees, or private contractors?

@JimBeam If they come to fix my roof, I will have say in how it's done since I am paying.
