Marlon,

For a real world idea idea of what the homeschooling movement is all
about please visit a local homeschooling group in your area. They
typically meet once a month. The site you referred me to has gems like
this "80% of families who home school identify themselves as Christian".
The statement itself is probably true, but note the implied cause and
effect, which is often not questioned by scholarly minds of the left.

I fully support the right of an adult man and a woman to marry.

Governments everywhere monitor and track their citizens. The FBI, CBI in
India, police, etc. are organizations designed to monitor activity of
citizens with a view to reducing and preventing crime.

Where did you get the impression that I was against secular public
education? You're jumping to bogus conclusions. I am pro-choice in
matters of schooling.

It has always been okay for governments to dictate certain moral codes,
that is a part of government's job. There is not a government on earth,
that I am aware of, which does not have a moral code...they're often
called laws.
