I formerly (erroneously) believed that only religiously insane right wing nutjobs home schooled their children.

Though I cannot imagine doing so myself ... I now understood that there is a multitude of reasons parents may choose to home school (many valid and in the best interest of their child) ... these parents pay taxes that support the public school (as do the parents that send their children to public school), I see no reason they shouldn't be able to utilize some services and facilities.
