[Editor's Note: Elizabeth Bartholet is a professor at Harvard Law School organizing a summit in June 2020 dedicated to discussing problems in homeschooling and ways to restrict it legally. She has called for homeschooling to be "presumptively banned," arguing that many homeschoolers are "religious ideologues" trying to shut off their children from democratic values that they would learn in public schools, which she says hurts children and hurts the country.]
