Revised History – Does Big Brother Want to Outlaw Home Schooling? PDF
Well, yes, as a matter of fact he does. Way too many children are now being homeschooled and thereby deprived of the leftist indoctrination offered as standard fare in their local public schools. Such an occurrence has dire ramifications for the leftist throng among us. These homeschooled children, if their parents homeschool them long enough, may grow up to think independently and thereby ask embarrassing questions Big Brother’s educrat minions don’t want asked–and we just can’t have that. So, homeschooling has to go, and the kids involved in it need to be forced back into public schools where they can be taught to embrace the tenets of leftist thought for 6-7 hours each day–in all subjects. Nothing else will suffice.
Sound far out? Unfortunately, it is not as far out as you think. The leftist educrat gaggle is already out there working feverishly to convince the general public of how diabolically evil homeschooling really is.
There was an article on https://www.lewrockwell.com for May 24, 2022, which quoted Daniel Greenfield. It said: Elizabeth Bartholet, the director of Harvard Law’s Child Advocacy Program, described the ‘homeschooling phenomenon’ as a ‘threat to society, claiming that conservative parents ‘homeschool because they want to isolate their children from ideas and values central to our democracy’, ‘promote racial segregation and female subservience’, and ‘question science’.” Greenfield continued: “Her paper called for a ‘presumptive ban on homeschooling, with the burden on parents to demonstrate justification for permission to homeschool.’ These views are not fringe. Of course, this elite titan, Bartholet, knows which ideas and values are central to our democracy; and the place to drill them into children’s heads is public school.”
Greenfield commented on Bartholet’s political grasp of reality when he said: “Like all her super-educated colleagues, she manages to forget that the United States is a Republic, not a democracy. But a democracy is what she needs, because under that system the well-oiled systems of money determine which voices are heard and which are silenced.” And she wants homeschool voices silenced before too many people start paying attention to them!
Bartholet has some “interesting” colleagues. Back in 2020 she was co-organizer, along with a law professor, James Dwyer, of a homeschooling summit at Harvard. Dwyer is a law professor at the College of William and Mary. He is known, presumably in leftist circles, for claiming that: “The reason parent-child relationships exist is because the state confers legal parenthood…” Did you get that. You have parental rights because the state confers them to you. In his convoluted reasoning your children belong to the state but the state, in its gracious generosity, allows you to have a little say in their upbringing–but to homeschool them–why that is beyond the pale for children of the state. It can’t be permitted.
Make no mistake, these people are coming after homeschooling and homeschoolers, and you can bet the farm they will do it with the full permission of the corrupt Biden/Obama Regime. Homeschoolers may need to seek all the legal assistance they can get because they are now under attack full throttle from raving leftists who will not be satisfied with anything but the political beheading of their adversaries. So be warned!
