The author quotes Elizabeth Bartholet, a prof at Harvard Law School, who thinks that parents should have very limited rights in trying to homeschool their children. She thinks that children must go to public schools in order to learn tolerance. Her own arrogance, bigotry and intolerance against Christian parents is evident.

[[The Risks of Homeschooling]]

Kids will learn to think for themselves

[[She thinks that children must go to public schools in order to learn tolerance.]]

She obvious either doesn’t lead by example, or her brand of tolerance is not my brand-

Thank you for the bold lettering.
How long has Elizabeth Bartholet worked for the CIA indoctrination programs? (half /s)

“But may keep them from contributing to a democratic society”., no, may keep them contributing to a free society, as our founders envisioned.

How can we properly indoctrinate them if their parents homeschool them? Who the hell do these parents think they are? Don’t they know that it takes a village to raise good left wing citizens?

The “risk” of independent thinkers with an actual education.

She is a tyrannical scumbag.

The Risks of Public School Education outweighs that of homeschooling. By a wide margin and the test scores and success stories prove it.

[[and recommends a presumptive ban on the practice.]]

How positively Nazi of her-

[[Homeschooling, she says, not only violates children’s right to a “meaningful education”]]

Her ignorance is showing

[[may keep them from contributing positively to a democratic society.]]

Again her ignorance is showing- homeschooled kids by and large offer a much more polite, respectful atmosphere to society. In public schools, they learn to bad mouth their teachers, disrespect principles, get into fights, deal drugs, etc-

Miss Elizabeth Bartholet is woefully ignorant- Her hatred of Parent’s rights blinds her to actual facts-

Not even going to go through the rest of her ignorant rant-

They're not isolated; there are plenty of non-school events to go to.

I've also noticed that home-schooled kids are a lot more popular than public-schooled kids. My theory is that they have more confidence and manners - a combination that wins friends.

As if there’s no risk sending your kid to public school! The public schools turn out largely illiterate propagandized Marxist / humanist / SJW graduates by the tens of millions which undermine the very fabric and core of our country.

There’s no risk to the nation of THAT?

Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children’s factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production, etc. etc.

— Tenth plank of communism
The only threat is to their power and control.

Bartholet says. “I think it’s always dangerous to put powerful people in charge of the powerless, and to give the powerful ones total authority.”

This.

The greatest danger is communist controlled education like the public schools.

Exactly. “Democracy” is just a positive-sounding word for giving stupid people power over smart people (because there are more of them and we for some reason let them vote), or for letting the politically correct dictate to the normals.

The risks of public schooling these days far outweigh the risks of home schooling. A good many children would be better off with no school at all in lieu of public school.

The only “risk” is that the kids will NOT be brainwashed into the mathematically false* ideology of Cultural Marxism.

* 100% poverty wherever tried, gulags, death camps and 100,000,000 dead innocents (the ‘glorious’ results of the implementation of the tenets of Marxism in the 20th century) = a MATHEMATICAL certainty that this is a FALSE philosophy/ideology.
