Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan, co-hosts of the far-left “I’ve Had It” podcast, condemned homeschooling as “weird as fuck” and the “worst” idea on their show on Tuesday.
His comments were an answer to a question person calling the show They complain about “morons trying to homeschool their kids when they probably shouldn’t even have kids to begin with.”
Sullivan immediately took the caller’s comments to heart, stating that he was concerned about “people studying the Bible” homeschooling their children.

“From soup to nuts, I think homeschooling is a bad idea,” Sullivan said. “I don’t care if you’re a nuclear physicist. I think it’s weird that you want your kids to be around you all day, every day and night. And just socializing.”
“For me personally, I would get up on my hands and knees, strap them to my back, and crawl to take them to school every day to get them where I wasn’t,” he continued. “That’s why I don’t trust anyone who wants to be with their kids 24/7. I think a lot of stupid people do it because it’s easier. That’s worrying, too.”
Welch accused parents who choose to homeschool of trying to “project a script onto their children” and claimed they lack the ability to think critically.
“This is trickle-down stupidity. This is MAGA on steroids. This is MAHA. This is traditional. This is vaxx and grungy and all that —. This is the worst, worst, worst,” Welch said.

The far-left podcaster argued that homeschooling is part of America’s “fundamental crazy Christian problem” and suggested it was actually child abuse.
“I think this is a huge problem,” Welch said. “I can’t stand these people, but it’s still a pretty big red flag when someone says to you, ‘What’s their problem? They look kind of crappy.'” [and they say] ‘I was homeschooled.’ ‘Yes’ you say. I think this is a very selfish thing for parents to do.
“Honestly… I’ll just say this. I think it’s selfish for parents to impose a religion on their children and make them believe in just one religion before they’re old enough to hear all or any of it and decide for themselves. I honestly think it’s all child abuse.”

Corey DeAngelis, a senior fellow at the American Culture Project and an education policy advocate, said in a comment to Fox News Digital that sending kids to public schools for most of their childhood is truly “bizarre.”
“It’s not weird to love your kids and have them around. It’s weird to turn them over to strangers employed by the government, pretending it’s for their own good. The public school system is filled with documented abuse, bullying, fights, drugs, gangs, violence, and relentless socialist brainwashing. That’s the ‘socialization’ these landlords advocate,” DeAngelis said.
“Homeschooling is not a radical new experiment,” he continued. “Human beings have been homeschooling their own children for thousands of years. The real experiment is the factory-model government education system, which exists only because of the Prussian militarism of the 19th century and the progressive social engineering of the 20th century.”

“And this experiment has failed millions of children,” he added. “Podcast comments reveal the hosts’ disrespect for family and parental authority rather than homeschooling.
“It’s not ‘MAGA on steroids’ or ‘trickle-down stupidity’ for parents to choose to raise and educate their own children. It’s the most natural thing in the world.”
