1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: Judging merely my credentials. A lot of people would say

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: that Elizabeth Bartholet is at the pinnacle. She's a law

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 1: professor at Harvard. She's a faculty director of Harvard's Child

4
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: Advocacy program. Professor Barthelt decided to weigh in on the

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: coronavirus in an article for Harvard Magazine. She is worried

6
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 1: about children being home scruelled by their parents and forced

7
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: to be in lockdown with their parents all day, every day.

8
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: Professor Bartholet says, the question is whether parents should have

9
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 1: all of that access, all of that authoritarian control over

10
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: their children. The professor says that, in her view, that

11
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: kind of control is dangerous. It's dangerous to put powerful

12
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: people in charge of the powerless. It's dangerous to give

13
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: those powerful people to parents total authority over the powerless people,

14
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: their crumb crunchers. So your parents out there, you're much

15
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: too dangerous for your own children to be left with

16
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: you during this crisis, because your dictator like attitudes, you

17
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: get too much power, of too much unchallenged authority over

18
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: your poor, powerless kids, makes you dangerous, more dangerous than

19
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,839
Speaker 1: the coronavirus or any other virus. This anti parent drivel

20
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 1: was not written for The Onion or some satirical publication.

21
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: It's a Harvard magazine. So what's more dangerous for America

22
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: the coronavirus? With parents staying at home with their kids

23
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: or an esteemed, credentialed Harvard professor and child aad. This

24
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: is incredible
