Speaker 1: Judging merely my credentials. A lot of people would say
Speaker 1: that Elizabeth Bartholet is at the pinnacle. She's a law
Speaker 1: professor at Harvard. She's a faculty director of Harvard's Child
Speaker 1: Advocacy program. Professor Barthelt decided to weigh in on the
Speaker 1: coronavirus in an article for Harvard Magazine. She is worried
Speaker 1: about children being home scruelled by their parents and forced
Speaker 1: to be in lockdown with their parents all day, every day.
Speaker 1: Professor Bartholet says, the question is whether parents should have
Speaker 1: all of that access, all of that authoritarian control over
Speaker 1: their children. The professor says that, in her view, that
Speaker 1: kind of control is dangerous. It's dangerous to put powerful
Speaker 1: people in charge of the powerless. It's dangerous to give
Speaker 1: those powerful people to parents total authority over the powerless people,
Speaker 1: their crumb crunchers. So your parents out there, you're much
Speaker 1: too dangerous for your own children to be left with
Speaker 1: you during this crisis, because your dictator like attitudes, you
Speaker 1: get too much power, of too much unchallenged authority over
Speaker 1: your poor, powerless kids, makes you dangerous, more dangerous than
Speaker 1: the coronavirus or any other virus. This anti parent drivel
Speaker 1: was not written for The Onion or some satirical publication.
Speaker 1: It's a Harvard magazine. So what's more dangerous for America
Speaker 1: the coronavirus? With parents staying at home with their kids
Speaker 1: or an esteemed, credentialed Harvard professor and child aad. This
Speaker 1: is incredible
