I'm sure you know the dishonest arguments against homeschooling, but this article is a succinct reminder to everyone of how and why the totalitarian Left wants to close this escape route from the corrupt System.

This "law" professor at an avant-garde Commie Stink Tank called Harvard advocates a "presumptive ban" on HS, because it can't be "regulated"--i.e., by Big Brother.
According to this apparatchik, HS allows the "powerful" (i.e., parents) too much influence over the "powerless" (i.e., their children)--unlike the benign, totally-NOT authoritarian public school system.
The author also doesn't like the fact that homeschooling families are often Christian (because Christianity is bad). Also because they may teach undemocratic values (which is why they need to be regulated by an all-powerful authoritarian government). The burden of proof justifying HS should be on the parents, who should have to argue their case before a (most likely left-wing) judge. (Germany has already banned homeschooling, once again taking a leading role in the spread of totalitarianism in the West.)
The author double-speaks for the entire Socialist Establishment, so it's more ominous than merely "academic." It's the rattlesnake's rattle.
Best of luck with doing the right thing for your child in the teeth of an Establishment that wants to usurp YOUR authority, as part of its campaign to destroy the nuclear family entirely.
