Harvard shows itself as grotesquely greedy, and hostile to parents and faith

Harvard got some bad press today, and deservedly so. First, it turns out that, even as Americans are standing in breadlines, Harvard got $9 million from taxpayers. Second, America learned that a Harvard professor thinks children must be pushed into public education to protect them from uneducated, abusive, religious parents.

Harvard University has a $40.9 billion endowment, the largest academic endowment in the world. This is separate from the tuition students pay to fund most of the college’s day-to-day operations. The annual tuition for Harvard is currently $47,730, but fees, room, board bring a year at Harvard to $72,000.

Harvard may be wealthier than half the countries in the world, but it’s still greedy. When the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act sent $9 million in taxpayer money to Harvard, it accepted it:...........Greed isn’t Harvard’s only problem this week. An article in the latest issue of Harvard Magazine went viral today. It’s entitled “The Risks of Homeschooling” and recounts ideas from Elizabeth Bartholet, the Wasserstein public interest professor of law and faculty director of the Law School’s Child Advocacy Program........Bartholet’s most predictable complaint is that the 50 states don’t impose strict rules on parents, thereby allowing people without the proper credentials to teach their own children.

Another concern is that, if children are kept at home, there’s no way teachers can report suspected child abuse. If the state’s not spying on you, you must be doing something wrong............ For Bartholet, though, the worst thing is that homeschooling is . . . Christian! ..............Ironically, Harvard was established in 1636 as a private institution to educate Christian ministers. It’s still private, but now it feeds hungrily at the taxpayer trough and teaches its students to hate Christianity.........To Read More.....
