It's worthwhile to spend a few posts contemplating what this really means in the world, because it's a clear glimpse into the corrupt and distorted world of academia, one which has been choking this nation for 60+ years now virtually unexamined and unopposed.

First, for the uninitiated, here are some backgrounder links. From news sites:

Harvard Professor Bartholet calls homeschooling ‘dangerous,’ says it gives parents ‘authoritarian control’ over kids

https://www.dailysignal.com/2020/04/21/harvard-smears-homeschooling-parents-and-their-children/

Harvard Professor Bartholet, also faculty director of Harvard Law School’s Child Advocacy Program, says that “homeschooling violates children’s right to a meaningful education and their right to be protected from potential child abuse,” and that parents have “authoritarian control over their children.”

In other words, Harvard Professor Bartholet knows that homeschooled children are being taught to think for themselves, and she won't stand for it. Bartholet is no doubt keenly aware that government indoctrination centers have been wildly successful in their quest to force-feed vulnerable children progressive values.

A Harvard Law Professor Bartholet is facing near-universal condemnation after pushing for a total ban on homeschooling, especially when public schools are locked down due to the coronavirus.

The latest edition of Harvard Magazine interviewed the professor who is demanding a “presumptive ban on the practice” and claims homeschooling “violates children’s right to a ‘meaningful education’” and keeps them from “contributing positively to a democratic society.”

“The issue is, do we think that parents should have 24/7, essentially authoritarian control over their children from ages zero to 18? I think that’s dangerous,” she says. “I think it’s always dangerous to put powerful people in charge of the powerless, and to give the powerful ones total authority.”

But that tends to be the trajectory of government itself once it starts taking away more and more power from the people.

The article also suggested that homeschoolers are driven “by conservative Christian beliefs,” which led to a strong rebuke by the top commenter of the comment section.

“This article is sad in its total inaccuracy. First off 90% of homeschoolers are not conservative Christian. I have homeschooled for eight years and we are atheists,” the read. “In my state of North Carolina only 60% of homeschoolers are Christian and only a small percentage are conservative fundamental Christian homeschoolers.”

Harvard Professor Bartholet: "Many homeschool precisely because they want to isolate their children from ideas and values central to public education and to our democracy. Many promote racial segregation and female subservience. Many question science. Many are determined to keep their children from exposure to views that might enable autonomous choice about their future lives,” she claims.

At Harvard Magazine, O’Donnell interviewed Harvard Professor Bartholet in a piece titled “The Risks of Homeschooling,’ which is accompanied by an illustration that features a homeschooled child behind bars in a house while other children are playing freely outside. One wall of the house is composed of a stack of books labeled, “Reading,” “Writing,” “Arithmetic,” and the “Bible.”
