Iowa education is fucked

 I want to preface this, our state and the better of this country is fucked for education..... You can't even get in trouble for dropping out of school in 7th grade and being taught trumpism & White Christan nationalism.

I'll I want is my lil brother not completely fucked in the head but he is already getting to that point of being too far gone with the this he says to me.

Quote from him

"As I said you're just a B O T that keeps repeating itself you gather your information from liberal retards that are just exactly like you and you believe the media when all they do is twist it around I'm genuinely flabbergasted on how stupidly blind you are but it's whatever I'm done having this argument I'm not going to respond to your chapter book of nerdy ass science words you're trying to throw at me I'm done texting you ."

I was simply asking him a question and trying to challenge his newly found opinions that are harmful to himself and everyone around.

Iowa doesn't even have a way to report homeschooling neglect, the only site I cool fing links to the way back machine ( internet archive)

Here's what there is to find in Iowa and homeschooling:

https://responsiblehomeschooling.org/advocacy/kids/how-to-report-state-by-state/#:~:text=of%20Child%20Welfare.-,For%20assistance%20in%20reporting%2C%20call%20the%20National%20Child%20Abuse%20Hotline,or%20neglect%2C%20including%20educational%20neglect.

Suspicions that a homeschooling family is not providing the education required by law may be reported to the child’s school district or to the county attorney.

Concerns that include abuse or neglect (other than failure to educate) may be reported to the Iowa Department of Human Services at 1-800-362-2178.

Some professionals are required by law to report suspicions of child abuse or neglect. For more information, see Mandatory Reporters of Child Abuse and Neglect.

Children homeschooled under the independent private instruction option must be provided with instruction in math, science, reading and language arts, and social studies. The state has no assessment mechanism for students homeschooled under this option. Parents may also choose to homeschool under the competent private instruction option, which involves either being supervised by a certified teacher or providing 148 days of instruction with optional notice and assessment (some parents may choose this option for access to public school sports). See §299.

If an individual makes a report that a homeschooling family is not providing the instruction required by law, that report will be investigated by the district superintendent or, if the district is large enough to have one, by the district attendance office. Children who are deemed truant are subject to a mediation process to ensure compliance with the law. Should the mediation process fail, the case will be referred to a county attorney for prosecution.

If you have concerns about a homeschooling family, you may report your concerns to the superintendent’s office or to the district attendance office, or directly to the county attorney.

Failure to educate is not included in the state’s definition of neglect, meaning that Iowa’s Department of Human Services does not intervene in homeschool settings unless abuse or other forms of neglect are also involved.

For more on homeschooling in Iowa, see our state brief.

I'm just defeated at this point. People need to educate themselves by not hiding behind religions. And those beliefs should not bear any means to the education of an individual. If you have religious beliefs, or your dogmatic views, can't be held on too with learning how things really work then maybe those ideas need to be abandoned.
