Leave it to WorldNutDaily to invoke the Hitler Clause.

Homeschooling itself certainly isn't child abuse, but it gets kind of iffy if you homeschool and can't teach anything.

No kid should have to suffer, say, illiteracy, because of mom and dad's religious convictions and/or ego. I've worked (as a teacher*) with kids who have been homeschooled. It ain't always pretty. A perfectly capable 10-year-old shouldn't have to be taught how to read or count.
