What’s the difference between fundamentalisms, between the Kalshnikov and the M14 7.62 caliber semiautomatic rifle?  The Wikipedia avers:

Opposition to homeschooling comes from varied sources, including
organizations of teachers and school districts. Opponents’ stated
concerns fall into several broad categories, including: academic
quality and completeness; socialization of children with peers; and
fear of religious or social extremism.

My concern regarding extremism sparked this flight of fancy, but I can’t find anything to substantiate the idea right now.  We have a constitution that says people can do what they please when it comes to the myths and mysticism associated with their "religion."  And if they want to wear sheets and take target practice out behind the biffy, who are we to criticize?

I’ve googled it and HighBeamed it and I’ve come to the conclusion that the American Madrassas are well hidden.  A less paranoid person might think they don’t exist.
