The summit is being organized by James Dwyer, a law professor at the College of William + Mary. He is famous for claiming that “The reason parent-child relationships exist is because the State confers legal parenthood …”.
In his 1994 law review article “Parents’ Religion and Children’s Welfare: Debunking the Doctrine of Parents’ Rights”, Dwyer argued that “the claim that parents should have child-rearing rights—rather than simply being permitted to perform parental duties and to make
certain decisions on a child’s behalf in accordance with the child’s rights—is inconsistent with principles deeply embedded in our law and morality.” and Professor Elizabeth Bartholet.
In Bartholet’s recent article in the Arizona Law Review, “Homeschooling: Parent Rights Absolutism vs. Child Rights to Education & Protection,” she “recommends a presumptive ban on homeschooling, w/ the burden on parents to demonstrate justification for permission to homeschool.”
Also attending are Samantha Field, author of “Meet HSLDA, The Most Powerful Religious-Right Lobby You’ve Never Heard Of.”
The article starts by declaring, “The Home School Legal Defense Association has fomented a culture of suspicion and wild conspiracy theories that may put children in danger.”
