There's a de facto legal menace growing that assumes the State knows better how to raise your children than you do. You're a fool to think this can't happen in the U.S.

Some Mennonites are moving from Quebec because they prefer that their children not be exposed to the false teaching of evolution (among other things).

Recall the story of Melissa Busekros in Germany. We now have two examples of governments that are willing to use force to ensure that all its citizens are subjected to mandatory indoctrination. It's only a matter of time before the same thing happens here in the U.S. It will start in California (where it is currently all but impossible to homeschool), but it won't end there.
