The statement literally said "I believe that [...]".

How can I provide data to back up that statement?

I never reasoned that home schooling doesn't provide results, or that home schooled students do worse. I'm sure that with dedicated enough parents, it will provide results, and the students will do better or at least just as well!

I still think that it shouldn't be allowed. I'm not sure how I can provide sources on that.

I'm not nearly knowledgable enough about this subject to have a well informed opinion and my only exposure to homeschooled kids have turned out to be very well adjusted adults. Despite my own anecdotal experience, I'm certainly open to any data showing the overall negative effects that homeschooling may have on the societal level, but if you strongly believe it shouldn't be allowed, and yet this belief isn't based on any solid reasoning or evidence, isn't that somewhat similar to the kind of unfounded beliefs on display in the article?

Sorry, I should have said "could you provide data which shows your believe is valid/would make the world better?"

Stating "I believe X" without any basis in reality doesn't seem like a useful contribution to any discussion really...
