Academics that are coming together to discuss what they see as potential overreaches of homeschooling.
And it's that's all it is.
It's like this tiny little conference.
As far as I understand it, this is not some policy-making summit to radically restrict the rights of homeschoolers all over the US.
Of course, theoretically it could turn into that, but I just don't see it there.
Um, and the co organizer of this conference, Jim Twyer,
Is a law professor who I had on my podcast.
And that episode came out surprisingly at almost exactly the same time as the Harvard article.
And the book that Jim co-authored called Homeschooling, it's sort of an academic book that came out in 2019, is a really fair and even-handed look at all of the different needs and conflicting issues with
that happen in the homeschooling world.
And honestly, this is a lot of stuff that super enthusiastic homeschooling advocates are not aware of and don't like to think about or discuss.
And so I for one welcome Jim's voice in this discussion.
I think it's an important and a necessary one.
It it is, and that Harvard magazine piece was just one article by one professor who clearly is biased against homeschooling.
It could have appeared as an opinion piece in the New York Times or the Wall Street Journal.
There's many places where someone is is allowed to to express their radical opinion.
Uh uh that's why I don't feel that threatened.
Yeah, yes, because it has the imprimer of of Harvard on it.
People think it's it's more special, it's more important.
But it's not like Harvard University came out in you know, in defense of the uh make homeschooling a legal everywhere position.
