Malcolm Collilns: [00:00:00] Oh no! Oh my gosh. Almost one in three young women Not over the course of their adolescence, just in the last year has thought about unaliving themselves.
Simone Collins: Oh dear.
Malcolm Collilns: That is how bad the school system is right now. It was young women, 24%. Oh, my
Simone Collins: plan.
Malcolm Collilns: Young women made Alan. To kill themselves this last year. This last year, again, not over the course of their life. This is critically bad at this point.

Whoa. what if we are trading our children's childhoods so that they can be played with in some sort of a weird Marxist social experiment that has been Executed by a bunch [00:01:00] of
Would you like to know more?
Malcolm Collilns: Hello, Simone! You and I have done episodes on how bad the public school nightmare is right now. I think a lot of people think it's just like a steady degree difference from when we were kids. is not. We are going to be going into a lot of data, a lot of statistics in this episode.
I knew that when I was doing the research for this, I was like, Oh my God, if I could make enough money to support myself off of our content, and I could just like really do research heavy episodes all the time, I would be. So happy. Like it is such a pleasure to get to dive into statistics and see what is being hidden from the general public at this point.
So what I'm going to start with is just like how bad things are because not in terms of outcomes, but a lot of people, they look at how we're raising our kids and they're like The things you're doing with your kids are going to make them unhappy. Why don't you just do what everyone else does?

Simone Collins: homeschoolers have generally lower rates of actual abuse because think about it this way.
Homeschooling families have larger numbers of children. So one child causes some kind of warning that has CPS called. They're much more likely to they're like every child will be seen as being like plausibly subject to abuse. Also, I've just noticed that larger families are more likely to have people be very judgmental of the way that they raise their kids.
So I feel like they're way [00:03:00] more subject to scrutiny
