It's repugnant, all right, but it's not "the alternative".

I'm sure if you really think about it, you could come up
with better solutions.  For example, how about holding
parents legally responsible for their children's well-being?
It could be required that the children be given a certain
amount of schooling at licensed schools.  This is much the
same as the current mandatory schooling requirement, which
was not the topic of discussion.
