#2 This is why you shouldn't trust the "Experts" that only sit and "teach" or do "Think tanks" instead of actually doing things.

#3 Check out her digs in Cambridge. Not exactly up to Lizzie Warren standards, but close enough!

#4 I remember walking through part of Harvard when my buddy Mike and I came upon a statue:

Me - 'Who's this asshole?'

Mike - 'That's John Harvard. He founded the university in 1630.'

Me - 'Uh, let's just keep going...'

#5 She is Harvard Law, which is 95% commie/fascist/moonbat. Contrast this to Harvard College, which is ~85% commie/fascist/moonbat. Pick the right major (Physics and/or Chemistry) and you'll hardly get a whiff of them.

#6 If it wasn't obvious, I was being sarcastic. Any of the hard sciences, and 50% of the math were good.

#9 Laziest in-graphic I've come across in a long time. Well, since New Yorker had the nurse in PPE dinking her glove hands on her touchscreen PED.

#10 All of the undergraduate calculus was reputed to be okay. I placed out of all the intro math because I took it at MIT (18.01, 18.02, 18.03, etc. Note that I had a hard time initially). I spent my time in advanced calc, topology, quaternionic analysis, etc. I had delusions of using it at Northrop in inertial guidance systems, my intended first job, but they ended up using me to fix everything that was broken. I really liked MIT's approach better, to be honest. Where else would you get to TA for George Thomas? I was his black sheep. He told me that the best way to learn something was to have to teach it. He was right. Advanced classes are Very small at either school. I remember RPI being touted as good as well. I am not a good source of current info though.

#11 Intro Calc for poets at MIT is a hoot.

#12 Thanks, Mike
Do you have any info on Stony Brook's Math Dept.?

#13 Bitch has kids of her own?

#14 Sorry no. I only really know what I saw or experienced. KBK might be a more current source. Just guessing though.

#15 Lex, I looked it up. Based on some rankings, it produces a lot of Applied Math majors, and came in at number one. Also:

"The Stony Brook AMS major has also been ranked for several years as one of the top five U.S. undergraduate programs in applied mathematics by College Factual, as cited in USA Today. The 2020 ranking is:

CalTech 1st, Brown 2nd , Stony Brook 3rd , Stanford 4th, and Harvard 5th .

This ranking is based on earnings of graduates, quality of faculty in the department and related departments, and popularity among students."

Best I could find.

#16 G(r)om - I spent a few minutes trying to find that out; so far, no mention of a family, so I'm gonna go out on a limb and say no.

#19 I read a little about her. Seems like an altruist sort. Her mostly genuine concern is for children of abusive, bad parents. In her line of work, with victimized children she must have seen an abundance of maddening cases. I can understand.

There are some bad people, posing as parents in the world. Of course, it'd be daft to systematize the separation of every child just to be sure, but that's where the lines blur. We live in a very grey world, gentlemen.

#20 She may just be the two-faced sort who turns around genuine issues to service the Dem agenda. With Harvard, that's some kind of a criteria now.

#21 A law professor should be capable of more detached, careful, fact-based analysis though. The myth that homeschoolers are fire-breathing flat-worlders was put to rest at least a decade ago. Plenty of briefs from court cases attest to this.

These are the worst.

#23 All I know - having taught school - most school teachers are incompetent: both in the subject matter they're supposed to teach and in dealing with kids. In fact, I'll go with Jerry Pournelle "schools are for teachers, not students".

#24 They're being deprived of their indoctrination and grooming raw material.

It's very upsetting for them.

That said, these trial balloons always end up becoming policy initiatives at some point, so look for this "presumptive ban" to become a thing pretty soon.

As an aid to that effort, I bet there'll be lots of narrative-shaping stories about child abuse in the time of lockdown within the next few months.

#25 Of course it is!
They'll come back and get you if you don't boot them out of the house by late puberty.
