> Values such as the ones the US was founded on: things like individual liberty and deep distrust of governments,

While I can relate to the deep distrust of governments and have a strong belief in individual liberty, I don't understand the connection to homeschooling. Could you elaborate?

> particularly governments wanting to indoctrinate children. And governments have done plenty to earn such distrust.

Do you have any evidence of US public schools indoctrinating children en masse? I find this a rather extreme claim that I am unaware of convincing evidence of. Thus, I'm a position where, as a rational person, I must assume that the two most probable situations are that the claim is either false or I am woefully ignorant, and that I am ill equipped to engage with this without further exposition.
