Mike Farris:
Kimberly Yuracko, who’s a law professor at Northwestern University, contends that there must be new government controls on parents who, quote, “want to teach against the enlightenment.”¹

Catherine Ross, of George Washington Law School, declares: “. . . society need not and should not tolerate the inculcation of absolutist views that undermine toleration . . .. [T]he state can and should limit the ability of intolerant homeschoolers to inculcate hostility to difference in their children.”²

And what solution does she offer? I quote: “I propose that we add to the civics education goals of the state, including lessons on mutual respect for diverse populations and viewpoints as a mandatory curricular requirement.”³ End of quote.

Martha Fineman, from Emory University School of Law, goes further. She concludes: “. . . [T]he more appropriate suggestion for our current educational dilemma is that public education should be mandatory and universal.”⁴

In short: private education should be banned—all of it. Private schools, religious schools, homeschools.

Make no mistake about it. This is the march of a new orthodoxy. It is a competing religion. If you refuse to subscribe to this article of faith, your rights won’t be protected—and you will be persecuted.
