I strong-upvoted and strong-disagree voted, since I also agree the current voting distribution didn’t make much sense.
I do think you are doing something in your comment that feels pretty off. For example you link to aphyer’s comment as a “fully general counterargument that clearly prove[s] way too much”, but I don’t buy it, I think it’s a pretty reasonable argument. The prior should be towards liberty, and if the higher-liberty option is also safer, then I don’t see any reason to mess with it for now.
Like, it seems fine to improve things, but I do think state involvement in education has been really very terrifying and I sense a continuous missing mood throughout your comments of not understanding how costly marginal regulation can be.
To be clear, I think your comment is fine and doesn’t deserve downvoting, and disagree-voting feels like the appropriate dimension.
Right, I was the first strong-disagree and I disagreed because of the implied premise that homeschooling was deviant in a way that warranted a high degree of scrutiny, rather than being the natural right/default that should be restricted only in extreme cases. I figure that’s why others disagreed as well.
