The number of times I've earnestly seen the take "but it's good for fat people to be mean to them! It motivates them to lose weight!"
Also whenever you provide even light pushback that maybe bullying people does not magically make them skinny but instead makes them depressed, they immediately demand scientific sources as if "bullying fat people is good for them" is scientific concensus and you therefore owe them a peer reviewed paper.
No babe I'm so sorry you're not actually doing people a service by being an asshole to them you just want an acceptable target and have decided that fat people are one. You don't get to be a bad person until you've produced 3 peer reviewed meta analyses that being a dick to random fat people improves their health, OK? I'm sure people will thank you for your invaluable service of being an asshole.

i do not think any discussion of criminalizing homeschooling or taking away infrastructural support for homeschooling is ethical unless it has a clear, explicit, and robust strategy for what to do with children who literally physically cannot be in a public school.
this includes autistic & intellectually disabled & otherwise mentally disabled children who are incapable of thriving in a public school environment, due to not being able to keep up with a typical curriculum, facing violence from peers, etc. it also includes children who physically cannot be in a building with that many people in it, period, due to immune compromisation or living with immune compromised family members. it also includes children who can't be in public school due to inaccessible architecture, the school not being able to support a power chair and tube feeding, the school not being able to support high school students who need their diapers changed, etc. source
