That's what most homeschoolers want to avoid. Apparently there's exceptions on
this list, but every one I've ever met were right wing religious nuts who
didn't want their kids to learn how to think or to appreciate diversity- they
wanted them to be carbon copies of their racism and religion. They home
schooled specifically so they wouldn't meet Jews, blacks, hispanics, etc.
