Harvard law professor calls homeschooling 'dangerous'
A Harvard law professor believes that homeschooling can be 'dangerous' because it gives parents authoritarian control over their children.
More than 50 million children in the United States are at home due to the coronavirus pandemic that forced the shut down of schools, restaurants and bars, and other businesses deemed non-essential.
While states are developing plans to slowly reopen, it's unclear if that will take weeks or months, which means children will likely be at home for the remainder of the 2019-2020 school.

Ivy League schools slammed for netting millions in virus bailouts
Ivy League schools have been criticized for netting millions in taxpayer-funded coronavirus bailouts despite swimming in endowments worth billions.
The country's most prestigious private universities including Harvard, Princeton and Yale are among the beneficiaries of Washington's $2trillion rescue package to keep businesses afloat during the epidemic.
Higher education institutions have been apportioned $14billion of the aid provided under the CARES Act to weather the financial hits landed by the lockdown.
Students have been sent home, and while many are taking classes remotely, the schools risk not collecting the totality of tuition fees.
Of the top private schools, Cornell and Columbia will receive the most at $12.8million each.
Cornell, based in Ithaca in upstate New York, has an endowment of $7.3billion, while New York City-based Columbia boasts $10.9 billion.
