Harvard just tripled down on their attack on homeschooling

"A Warning on Homeschooling"😱👻

The first thing out of Elizabeth Bartholet's mouth is anti-conservative anti-Christian fearmongering.

Oh no! Homeschoolers are CHRISTIANS! 😱👻

The Harvard Law Professor wishes we were more like Germany - where homeschooling is banned.

The Nazi regime outlawed homeschooling in 1938.

She says homeschoolers abuse their children - and that they are "simply not learning academic skills"

Who wants to tell her about all of the abuse and academic failure going on in government schools?🤔

No but really - somebody tell her

The Nation's Report Card just came out

24% proficient in Civics
35% proficient in Geography
15% proficient in U.S. History

Here she goes again with her favorite word: "Many"

[Citation Needed]

And come on - does she really think indoctrination doesn't happen in government schools?🤔

That's literally why they were created.

She says homeschoolers won't learn to tolerate other people's views

Well she doesn't seem very tolerant of conservatives & Christians.

And we live in a highly polarized society.

Does she really think the 3% of kids who are homeschooled are the root of our problems?🤔

Interviewer: "Who makes sure homeschooled children are being educated?"

Bartholet: "Nobody."

I guess parents and family members don't mean anything to Bartholet?

And who makes sure kids are being educated in government schools?🤔

Oh no! Some homeschoolers are "right-wing Christian conservatives"!😱👻

"The biggest teachers' unions in the country have found homeschooling deeply problematic."

That tells you homeschooling is a great idea.

Teachers unions want to force kids to stay in their failing monopoly schools.

She actually thinks the Constitution grants us our rights.

Nope. Our rights pre-exist government.

Constitutional rights protect us from government abuse of power.

This is total lunacy:

Bartholet says "there's a right to abuse your child, so as long as you homeschool."

She is a Harvard Law Professor.

She denies the overwhelmingly positive evidence on homeschooling because it destroys her argument

She calls it "junk science"

Meanwhile she doesn't even cite any statistics to support her fearmongering claims.

Here she goes calling homeschooling "maltreatment and educational deprivation" again

"Many" [Citation Needed]

Who wants to tell her about that maltreatment and educational deprivation in government schools?🤔

She wants parents to have to prove to government why they should be able to educate their OWN CHILDREN at home

She wants everyone to be GUILTY until proven innocent.

That's not how we do things in America.

Even if you are approved to homeschool, she "would still require that their kids participate in some school courses and extracurricular activities."

That wouldn't be homeschooling.

That's authoritarianism.

These aren't just disturbing authoritarian ideas either

She is pushing to ban homeschooling

She wants to take away our rights

She wants us to be guilty until proven innocent.

Here is the anti-homeschooling propaganda interview released today by Harvard Gazette
news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/…

Harvard Law School should host a homeschooling debate.

Let's see if Elizabeth Bartholet is truly confident in her ideas.

Sorry for the typo everyone

I went to a government school
