I agree generally with the conclusions here but this is a very thin historical analysis — historians have examined the legal background for these claims to “parental absolutism,” with great care, including me in my own first book.

"The latest front in America’s culture wars has arrived with a familiar script: according to right wing media, the left is once again coming for your children. The culprit this time? Connecticut Democrats who want to know how many children in the state are homeschooled."
Today’s “parental rights” absolutism is actually a departure from the country’s constitutional history and tradition.
