https://campusreform.org/?ID=14850Harvard 'anti-homeschooling' event 'cancelled' amid conservative backlashOpponents of a controversial Harvard homeschooling summit claim the event has been canceled, but the Ivy League institution is still tight-lipped as to whether that is indeed the case.
The purpose of the invite-only event, “Homeschooling Summit: Problems, Politics, and Prospects for Reform,†was to “discuss child rights in connection with homeschooling in the United States," with a focus on "problems of educational deprivation and child maltreatment that too often occur under the guise of homeschooling, in a legal environment of minimal or no oversight.â€
With agenda items such as “Concerns with Homeschooling†and “Litigation Strategies for Reform,†the aim of the event was to equip critics of homeschooling and educators against the practice with “strategies for effecting such reform.†The co-organizer and one of the most controversial featured speakers was Elizabeth Bartholet, a professor of law and faculty director of Harvard Law School’s Child Advocacy Program.
I'm glad this education-malpractice travesty was cancelled. FWIW, this doctor was among the earliest modern homeschoolers to graduate from Harvard,
