Harvard Anti-Homeschool Summit Set To Feature Speaker Who Believes ‘The State Confers Parenthood’

 Jack, aged 5 from Essex, continues his homeschool work during the 2nd week of school closures due to the coronavirus.

An upcoming Harvard summit on the dangers of homeschooling will feature lectures and discussions led by various Ivy League professors, bureaucrats, and doctors. The point of the whole event is basically that parents have no business teaching things to their kids. Based on the published agenda for the summit, there doesn’t appear to be much of an emphasis on intellectual diversity. For example, a debate titled “Reform Proposals” will have one side making the case for greater regulatory oversight of homeschoolers and the other side making the case for an outright ban of the practice. The idea that parents should be free to educate their children without government agencies breathing down their neck is not being considered.

  3. This is absurd, coming on the heels of every child in America now being homeschooled.

    1. The commies are scared that many of the families who are now homeschooling because of the virus will continue doing it afterwards and well they should.
