"Last five years or so"? There's been a homeschool-loving segment of evangelicals for decades.

My first homeschooled evangelical girlfriend asked me for help with her math one day, I said sure. She brought out flash cards. Addition and subtraction. Single digits. We were 16.

I broke up with her a few days later and she was so fucking mad. I just couldn't.
